£300.00 will get you around 12BHP but not across the rev range by chipping the car, NASP engines don't benefit much from this approach.

I think exhaust and filter is about it, then its going to cost a lot of money for not much extra bhp. Supercharging is out of the question - proven to be very unreliable.

Max you will get is about 200 with the exhaust and filter.

I think thats the only way I'll get one too at the moment! And then I'd have to win the Euro Millions to pay for the fuel!
