seams like there a bit underpowered for a 1.8 though? are they restricted by the inlet like the 1.6 x16xe engines? whats best way to make more power on them?

I got mine around Easter, It's a lovely car!
Underpowered for a 1.8 or not, it's still bloody quick and powerful enough for me!

Yeah, the inlet can be replaced, can get a dbilas replica off ebay for £300 or £400 i think.
Inlet, cams, decat and full stainless, remap, should see 150+
