Uprated panel filter (Cosworth), free-flowing exhaust (Revolution) and a remap will see you with a nice, all-round package with plenty of punch.

I'd make sure you do plenty of research before you start tuning as you may end up regretting any bit-part mods...if you get advice, check it with others!! Above all, have a plan and stick to it!

Avoid using Harvey is the first tip
To get the most from the standard turbo you need to sort out the exhaust system. If you change the exhaust to a 3" fully decatted system and go for the gt spec 2 headers, flow matched uppipe an downpipe + remap id expect to see noticeable performance gains.
Standard airbox on a wr1 is great so no need for induction kits until 400bhpish.
If you want maximum volume from an exhaust then RCM do a team ice pipe which is seriously loud. Not my cup of tea but does the job nicely.

IME if you want something that flows correctly and isn't stupidly loud then you wouldn't go wrong with a Milltek system...........
personally i wouldn't use Blitz as apart from making a noise (nice if you like that sort of thing) they dont tend to be very effective in flow/design

Something you want to avoid at all costs. Get a turbo from Harvey if you want to experience surge . Basically the car isnt 'breathing' properly for what ever reason causes power to be stuttery when it comes in rather than being smooth and progressive. Not nice to drive.
