Wan't a few ideas for my car, a 1.6 fiesta zetec s.

1.6 16v, full exhaust including 4-2-1 manifold a decat, decent panel filter.

What's the most cost effective way of more power? Cams, throttle bodies, forced induction?

I understand throttle bodies can be bodged on RELATIVELY easy, bike carbs+manifold+fuel rail+management?

Cams have been done to death, but a certain type of which have been proven to boost power by about 35-40% with the modifications i've already done.

Turbo's have been done, but can only be ran on minimal boost, as substantial boost equals large explosion.

Any ideas? And how easy is it to realistically fit throttle bodies? I've heard bogg brothers can make a manifold up, but what kind of TB's? Bike ones? What size? Jenveys are out of the question unfortunately because of the stupidly high price tag.

Also, management? Omex is silly expensive, and far more complex for what I would need, any cheaper, more basic systems out there?

Lots of questions I know, hopefully somebody knows their stuff.
