If you can affort it the best way (and best performance) is to take your car to a place like Omex with subtle mods such as a decat, full exhaust, intercooler. Let them install an ECU and map the car for approximately 12psi or 13psi.
If I modified my Starlet, this is what I'd do... a proper job!

Some people are scared of spending money here, we by cheap shit like RRFPR and run mega rich low down with shit fuel economy to gain 5bhp higher up.
Eventually people might get the fact that the EMS is the cars heart for reliability,power and economy all in one!

You mean scared of spending money on the right things! People spend £600 on an intercooler and £600 for a full exhaust system which may give them 10bhp for the decat and 5bhp for the rest of the exhaust system if that.
An ECU alone could get you three times that figure without any other mods

But try telling that to other people lol. You dont get any noise or bling from an ecu
i wish i never botherd with an RRFPR only ever run it at standard pressure, ive just run bigger injectors and fuel computer, that would of been enough but never bother to sell it as its jsut another mod to add to the list.

the best mods IMO are
STEP 1;Brakes and suspension buddy... what ever you do , u need to be sure that you could stop the car , cos as it is the EP is a fast car as it is...
STEP 2 ;then i would suggest , full exhaust sys, boost controller, FCD , FMIC , Actuator
STEP 3 ;more powerfull turbo, RRFPR, ECU, Forgies, and 5E engine
STEP 4 ; ROLLCAGE!!!

Depends what you want from your car, thats why if you don't know what to do you need to ask.
If you was looking for more speed you obvisouly spent your money in the wrong places.
If you installed a POD filter and expected it to give you 10mph more top speed you installed the wrong mod.
I had an RS50, Which made over 20 RWHP as apose to 5-7FHP standard.
Also a few mods to add to the list.
Why has nobody mentioned tyres! These transfor a car.
I run R888s on mine but they are a little overkill for some cars.
Always run Vpower whenever you can, and learn how to drive it to get the most from it.

1:Computer
2:New turbomanifold
3:Actuator
Top three and you can still run your normal intake/exhaust system and get better response and a cool gain.

Whats the maximum bhp achievable with "only" the following mods in a EP91?...
1. De-cat
2. Cold air intake (Relocated air filter)
3. Boost limiter solenoid removal
4. 2.5" exhaust piping
5. Wrapping at the intake and decat+exhaust
Any idea, anyone?

Maybe but people buy all the upgrades first because they can control fuelling with a FPR etc and quite cheaply. Once they have all the mods (exhaust, filter, de-cat, mani etc) they get the ECU such as a greddy e-manage and get it mapped.
If they got it mapped before any other upgrades each time they upgraded there car with a different exhaust from standard, de-cat etc they would have to get it re-mapped to produce optimum power, and its not cheap to get the greddy etc set up and the car tuned. So i think its fair to say its best buying all the parts first, controlling the fuelling with the FPR etc and then buying an ECU to get the best from the motor with all the mods.
