Very very little if it has twin 5.7" vacs.

If you can get a couple of 6.6 vacs in the cabinet and arrange sufficient ventilation, and increase the stack to 2", then improve the air separation in the recovery tank maybe it would work.

By the time you have finished, sell the machine and buy a proper 2" machine.

 You could probably do lots depending on your diy skills or how much messing around your prepared to do .

I think its a series machine as standard ? 
You could import high performance electro 5.7s from USA .

If you wanted to fit two 6.6 parallel  as Kinver-Clean suggests you could run the second motors stack externally ( like the old scorpion ) and plug it into your current tank vacuum hose connector ....   then mount a two inch hose connector over from it , or even on the waste lid on a 45 bend if u had to .

Probably this one as its a straight swap  ,  Mytee use it in many of their machines ,

Anything more powerfull will need additional uploader plumbing if it fits size wise .
