I have already looked into mapping etc. using a fast road can will give gains without a remap. You will get even more gains when you get it remapped.
If I dropped in a 1.6 8v engine, with cams, ITB's, a decent map and my 4-2-1 manifold and exhaust I could be pushing for 130bhp. It obviously isn't as much as a '6 but my car is also 200kgs lighter then a '6.
I understand what people are saying and yes i have looked at buying a '6/1.8 but I don't want to. It's something different that I will do over time to spread cost etc.
