Welcome.  Sorry, but there is no such thing as a MINT 200q20v.
You'll find that out soon enough. :)

Go with what worked for you.  If it no longer works in this application, accept
the advice of others and spend the money.

Before you boost the engine, though, how are the brakes? Does it still have
the original UFOs? Or did the previous owners downgrade them to the G60s?

How about the suspension?  Is it wearing the original 17 year old bushings
and struts/shocks?

And to meet the real crazy make-it-go-fast people, you may want to have a
look at the forum at <http://www.motorgeek.com/>.
