£2500 will get you 150+ bhp on tb's
£3500 wil get you 180+ bhp on tb's
then up to 240bhp if you are silly enough.

This is CorsaSport, people want to tune Corsas, if you have a different opinion you need to be on a different forum

If you don't want to spend a huge amount just go down the inlet and remap route, that would release around 20bhp and make the car so much more fun to drive.
