What's your budget ?

A good start would be a Zone chip and big bore throttle body,those two will cost you around 180 quid and will pep it up well.

The BBTB you can get from here,

Alpina527 "AT" aol.com

I carn't remember the chip email ady,some one should be a long in a minuet to post it.

I'm guessing you will get 10-15bhp and roughly the same amount of torque gains subject to your engine being in good condition and well serviced.

Fit a 6 branch manifold if funds allow. Proven to increase power.

If thats not enough then get a bigger cam and something like MAF conversion.
