Nope, nothing really. Any chip that claims to work... Really doesn't

Save your pennies for a DTurbo/gti6
If you're hell bent on the 1.4 then you'd probably have to look at turbos and supercharges.... Then it gets very expensive just to hit the power of a gti ![[Image: IMG_20130925_181339_zps95df48fa.jpg]](http://i727.photobucket.com/albums/ww278/4WayDiablo/IMG_20130925_181339_zps95df48fa.jpg)

Stripped, cams, throttle bodies, lightened everything. Might just keep with a '6 lol

Drop a 1.6 106 GTI 16v lump in it. Turbo charge that. Could be fun

Not much can be done on a small engine car, unless it come with a turbo from factory.

As said above nothing you can do without spending £££
If you want to do some tuning and get some power but still hold onto sone reliabilty/mpg/sensible/good run around insurence flogg both your cars and get a hdi or XUD

Seriously, you think there's magic fairies in V-power that suddenly add 5bhp?

that and a 'turbo' sticker and you'll easily see 100bhp
Wishes for more power...

18-07-2013, 08:40 PM
O shit i forgot to mention the sticker i need to add haha, maybe not 5 but vpower really makes a difference, you should try a tank of it i was impressed, im getting a extra 100 miles per tank, 600 odd

I do run VPower, because I have to due to the compression bump.

Pffft, I'm too tight to bother with fossil fuels these days. I try to use rapeseed oil though, as I reckon it produces more power than sunflower....

You'd probably loose a slight bit of power if anything, slower burn time.
