When I had that engine in a MK3 Astra estate. I adjusted the boost up and then turned up the diesel pump just doing that made a masive diffrence. I never bothered doing anything else as loads of work and cash for very little gain.

2.0 8v exhaust cat back and also take off the cat and smash its insides out and replace the air filter with a high flow air filter.

I've got a Pipercross panel filter in mine. I also removed the big standard extra but empty airfilter housing and replaced it with a cold airfeed to where the old piping would have ended up.
