Seen everyting in your other thread so no need to repost.

tbh the best power for money would be to stick a gti6 engine in there. You can fit gti6 exhaust and inlet manifolds to the 1.8. Mapping cant be changed as the ecu is random but you can get an omex standalone ecu and get that mapped up. Bearing in mind ive spent about £3000 on my engine and its only gone from 112hp to 129.4hp.

I'm starting a welding course soon so when I'm good enough I'll weld a manifold and turbo it then can you put better inlet on this engine then what about higher lift cams? carb conversion? would carbs do anything? or doable?

throttlebodies and aftermarket ECU, lightened fly wheel, gti6 exhaust manifold, full strainless exhaust., bigger injectors, mapping, gti6 gearbox, gti6 clutch. It all adds up.

I guess I have never done up an engine that much so wouldn't know to be honest no money like that will be spent on mine unless it turns out good looking and is strong

I have brought quite a lot of fibre glass, bondo, and paint and a merc front splitter on the rear and a reananly Clio one on the front but they were a tenner lol

Lads. At the end of the day you've bought the 1.8. If you were after power you should've bought the gti the cost difference in minimal these days and if you can't insure a gti you sure as hell cant insure a car modified to the extent you are talking about.

If you want a car with tuneable power then the 1.9 xud is your best bet. It's a bit coaly but you'll see more power out of that with a few inexpensive mods than you will chucking money at your n/a 1.8.

Eeyore there knows more than most about what a money pit the 1.8 is so I'd listen. 

If you continue along these lines you are in danger of getting flamed like the "yo blood, how do I turbo my 1.4 init" threads of yesteryear. Rofl

I'm not investing that kind of money into this car I just want it to look cool sometimes I wish it was a 1.4 the insurance might be a bit cheaper but I'm guessing the 1.4 is dead slow i got offered one dead cheap! the engine I got in this one the 1.8 is really healthy so it's a shame really
