Definitely look at a new cam, not sure about the TD one but autosprint in birmingham do reprofiles of your existing one

No you can just pay a surcharge with some places for re-grinds

2l 8v inlet doesn't fit.
Td cam doesn't fit.
Power boost valves=load of shite
The standard ecu/engine management will be holding the engine power back.
You need a decent cam, and aftermarket management so you can get it fully mapped.

Either a decent cam and mappable ecu=£500 plus mapping costs
Or a decent cam and carbs=£500 and setup costs
Or fit nitrous

kent or piper cam?
look into remapping it certain places lime court and miller or jamsport can do this, put a straight through centre section on it, not always a big induction kit helps, look into enclosed ones, as hot air isnt good air
