It's got the sports exhaust fitted but not had anything done to it other than that.
Reading some of the links here it looks like I could do lots to improve things on the airflow side but I'm not sure where to start.
How do you remove the pre-cat? Is it easy to do so? If not, who & how much to do so? Is it worth it?
New air filter's a no brainer. Again who & how much?

Just bought a VX with a mere 500 miles on the clock (nice of someone to run it in for me). Just got to wipe the smile off my face now

Have a look in the tuning section, lots of discussion about pre cat removal, most people agree it is beneficial.
Any one know if this is possible on a turbo?

Yep, can endorse most of that, Pre-cat removal is essential (its time-consuming and takes some experience) but well worth it. For free power on the inlet side remove the restrictor in the airbox. Go in through the n/s rear wheelarch, open the airbox and take out the air horn (it just clips in). I have done four pre-cats now (including my own). It takes three to four hours. If your anywhere within driving distance of Falmouth drop me a massage.
cheers.
