Is it worth the money though? Over say putting a z20let in?

Costs like £3,500 doesn't it?

its not the point, the more people do it the cheaper it will get

and 160bhp from a 1.2 - thats impressive

78bhp standard, so 90bhp is nothing amazing tbh

nothing amazing, 15% increase in power with no modifactions is quite an achievement

But as people have said before it was more than likely the 1.4spi lump rather than the 1.2

Yep.

I'm not saying the figures are definitely wrong, but the rest of them seem somewhat optimistic IMO.

I know it'd be almost completely pointless. But if the numbers on the Euromillions come in, it'll be done

That says it all really.

Quite interesting some of those results.
A 1400 16v, with a panel filter and a cat pipe, making a near 20hp gain
And a completely standard 1.3cdti making same power as the 1.7.
