hey , have owned this car for about 2 months now and just want a little more grunt , i owned a vectra gsi before and kinda expected the mv6 to be quicker. :-/

its an auto which im not sure this is helping much ? im thinking of converting it to manual .

whats the first step for a bit more power as this engine seems so lazy? a bit like my boss  

4 bar fuel pressure reg? make much difference ?

is there any cams for this engine that will give more performance?

manifolds ?

decats? although im not a fan of decatting.

blank egr valve?

Make sure it is in tip top running order first. It's not an engine that should feel lazy. Quite often the cams are not timed up correctly following a belt change.  Check that the multirams are operating correctly, that the breathers are clear, change air filter and oil filter, ensure plugs and leads are in good condition. If you still want more power consider a chip as the first upgrade.

The EGR shouldn't sap performance as it is only used on light load. If the valve is leaking it won 't do any good though, although the idle will probably be pretty rough if that's the case.

Maybe the Sport button needs pressing

check the vacum pipes on the multiram bud can make 30/40 bhp difference
