adjustable actuator to turn the boost up to 0.8 bar. It'll set you back about £90.

What great advice just slap the boost up and bounce the car off fuel cut without extra fueling mmm (I don't think so.)
Do a search mate you'll find loads of info on the site if you can't then have a look through the toytuning shop or the starletgtturbo you'll see loads of goodies and everyone will give advice (some good and some bad^^^^)
A good air filter
a service
decat pipe
adjustable actuator
boost gauge
and an exhaust if the price is right
set the boost to 0.8bar
Then enjoy

With a fuel pressure regulator of course to aid fueling that will be reduced if you put the hks actuator on. If you don't you will most likely run the engine too lean and cause damage.
If you set yourself a budget and an aim for your car then people will be able to give you more solid advice..
Oh WELCOME too

A decat pipe replaces the restrictive stock catalyst meaning more exhaust gases can be flowed meaning more power. 0.8 bar is the pressure you can safely up the boost level to without your engine running lean and without hitting fuel cut.

It'll be RIP starlet if you go down that route mate!
Fuel cut is there for a reason, the Toyota mechanics didn't put it there for a laugh lol, the stock ECU cant fuel over it without leaning out
rrfpr or new ecu would fix it tho, but its a LOT of money lol

Yeah! I wont do that then!
Will the De Cat pipe not make the car fail the NCT/MOT??
What about air fileters? Will they increase power without without destroyin the thing!!

You will need to check with the irish laws for your mot etc but in UK we don't need 1 on imports that don't have a UK equivalent model this applies for cars before about 1995 I think. as for power increase from airfilters they can give power but they are to aid throttle response more than that. If you derestrict the air inlet with a filter and the outlet with a decat and exhaust you will see a massive difference in the car alone. Don't become another horsepower hero please...

Plenty of people have had good results with a FCD(or equivalent) and SAFC combo. Cheaper than a piggy back or stand alone and obviously not quite as good, but a good set up nonetheless.
