Depends on your budget James, but a tuning box & a panel filter would be my option.

A remap would be probably a bit better than a tuning box but more expensive.

I have a tuning box for sale on Ebay there is a link in the forsale section.

A tuning box should give you about 20/25% increase, i have a DTUK which i am very happy with i think they are around £200, the panel filters are about £40-£50 so you would have pleanty of change from a £400 budget.

£400. Give RS Tuning a ring, and get it remaped the 120bhp models have reached around 160bhp, that costs £395 i think, much better than a box. would highly recomend the itg pannel filter also, not sure it the 130 airbox is the same as the 120, im sure someone will be able to tell you tho.

Box's are a doddle on the 120 i presume it's the same on the 130? mine just plugs into the common rail it is obvious when you take the cover off the engine.
