okay thinkin of going for the 1.4 over the 1.2 so its a lot better is it?

can you get induction sound with k&n or?

does induction mod and exhaust make it go much better(1.4 spi)?

are the 1.4 nippy?

sorry mate, your incorrect

no need for boost valve on your car, will do feck all... air filter... feck all... maybe 1hp.

zorst... on a 3i.... hmmm decat maybe 5-10hp really would depend on your engine strength and what decat you go for

for it to have 130hp... it would have to have a full exhaust system, manifold, maybe some cams as well... I cant see it personally.

Did this garage have it on the rollers?
