Get a Weber
Not too much you can do to it really other than what you have already suggested. Like yourself i upgraded the air filter and fitted a Single Weber DTML Carb. A weber will certainly pick it up somewhat, and makes the engine sound better too.
The only other way to go is to do an engine transplant but it's a bit more difficult to do on non-GTI models as you have to replace and upgrade more parts depending on the engine you choose.
So my advice to you is to throw a Weber in there

definatly look for one of the gearbox's,iv got a spare 32/34 dtml weber in my garage for my mini,would that work if i can find a manifold to suit?
iv done porting a polishing before so what about getting a second hand cylinder head would it release some more ponys??
cheers for all the help and im excited about the n.e.c tomorrow just hope wheel bearing makes it there and back!!

So if you know how to port and polish a cylinder head you could probably gain quite a lot of power.

I suspect there might be quite a bit more to it than just a p&p job on the head, though if I'm correct it is a crossflow so it's probably not the worst starting point.
