Probably best place to start is with a good old fashion service, oil, plugs, leads and filters. after that depends on how much your willing to spend, ive heard the 2.0 blocks arent too hard to turbo, but i may be wrong.

I'd say start with the simple/easy stuff first...... Strip it all out, replacement K+N/whatever panel filter and free-er exhaust, other than that you prolly looking at spending money......
The 360's werent the best car Ovlov ever built, but they can be made to go quick - it just depends on looking how much you want to shell out for...... personally I'd find a decent B2300 lump from a 740 and take it from there.
I've got a 360GLT and I reckon thats what I'd do to mine.....

me last car was a 440 that was stripped out was ok for speed but wen it came to taking passengers i was stuffed so ideally dont want to strip it out, probably just go for the cheapest easiest options first then work me way up :360:

Lol, the only way this one goes round corners is with quantities of left foot braking ;) As to your orig question, do a full service and I'd also do an injector clean. The ECU's open loop so not having the injectors in perfect order will be a problem for it.
