Sort out the EML is the first thing.
Do you know how tuned the pug was?
Good enclosed induction kit and from there cams and managment with maybe TB's
Depending on how deep your pockets are of course.

ah you serious mate? why you even thinking about cams etc when its broken.
Find out whats causing the engine light to come on and get it fixed. Your engine only gives out about 80 bhp in limp home mode , i cant remember the exact figure but i seen an x20xev on a rolling road recently running in limp home mode and it made about that.

140bhp, limp mode only revs to 4000 and slow at tht, get the eml off and it will be cracking
