Best mods for a 1.4 8V? (Power wise)
#1
So just thought I'd ask what's the best mods you can do to a 1.4 8V? Want about 100BHP it's running 75BHP now so any ideas? I've already got a cone air filter with a cold air pipe to it so that's been done (+0.01BHP) Tongue

Nothing that doesn't involve serious expense...and serious expense to bring a car up to 100bhp seems a lot like pissing money into the wind.

as said, its pretty much pointless, unless your prepared to replace cams etc. stick a big exhaust and cone filter on, will feel like your going faster because the car is louder Wink just save you for a gti6 or xsi lump
