I'm not sure you will achieve 150 bhp for £1000, but you still have good scope.

Consider:

twin 40's.
A high lift cam - 285 deg, more?.
4 branch manifold, and de cat system.

If you search for the right prices, you might get all that for about £500-£600. That would probably see around 120-125 bhp?

Theres loads of other things which you could then look into such as modified heads etc, someone with more knowledge will explain!!

Turbo conversion!!

For 150bhp, you'll need to have the head worked with larger valves, a decent camshaft with upto 300deg duration, increased compression, manifold and system, and either twin carbs or mappable management.

If you are really good with sourcing second hand parts and building yourself, you can possibly do it for £1k.

id consider the turbo route. but its money ive lookd in to it before i think it would cost me more than i have wouldnt it?
