If you definitely want more power (and can afford to insure it properly) the only real way of getting extra power is to get a bigger engine. Bare in mind the engines used are the older C20 engines which are by no means spring chickens. There is no point spending money on performance mods on the 1.4, many people have done it on 1.6 and got good power but I believe its a lot of money
