If its a 1.5 then what about putting a 1.7 turbo on it. Its quite cheap to do, i know a friend who did this and seen quite good results, not alot of difference in it and a 1.4 16v sport.

I would go down this route, quite good performance for little money spent and still retain great mpg.

Make sure that the alternator is fine, there notorious for them and there hard to come by. £200 for a new one last time I checked...
