Trick to getting more power out of a 24 valve is maxing out your credit card

One thing you could do is reset APPS, possibly restore some lost power, but it wont really give you any extra.

Use a drill bit to cut holes in your air box, might (HUGE might) increase air flow.

Apps is the Throttle Position sensor on the 24v fly-by-wire setup. there is a simmle recalibration procedure that has (for some people) restored lost horsepower that has been lost by the sensor gradually going out of calibration over time.
