wasteing your time and money tbh mate! there really isen't anything you can do to then, drop a 1.6 gsi or a 2.0 lump in.

Utterly pointless mate, the money you would spend on tuning it, for very little gains, would see you with a 2 litre 8v engine.

mine started as a 1.2 16v, derestrict the air box fit a panel filter to it, fit a decent exhaust, give it a full service clean throttle body and breather pipes, then save up for a bigger engine!

Thats sounds great, actually i did thought problem might be the throttle cos i did adjust the smal screw on it... cos when i first bought it it was discusting , the car cut off every 5 minutes cos the gas pedal didnt move properly.. i will do this soon, thanks !
