Have a look at the buyers guide for you PSI checks on your charger.

If all is good then do a compression test. If that's all good

 

Stick a oil cooler on it. (Unless it already has one)

 

Drive it like you stole it and save some £££ till the charger needs rebuilding.

 

(Keep checking the PSI, She'll let you know when she's tired)

 

Then spend some £ making it fast!

a bit off both really. im having no probs at all engine wise just the only service history i have is came belt change 20 000 miles ago and little bits hear and there.just whant a bit of advice from someone with a bit of savy as to what they would do first :shrug:

Plugs, leads, oil, all belts and tensioners and a Oil Cooler (all for peace of mind)

 

Chip and pulley (smaller pulley means you'll need a new belt anyway to eradicate the worlds most annoying squeak, Trust me I have said squeak)

 

With these few little things you'll have a nicely serviced engine and peace of mind and a charger that spools up a bit faster to get things moving a bit quicker!
