after considering an engine swap ive decided to postpone that thought 4 now but could any little things be done 4 a little bit of power boost say injectors throttle bodies that sort of things

its on my 1.6 octavia

has anyone ideas or links that could be helpful

can we please try not to slate my mini thoughts too much but im light hearted and will forgive anyone that tells me not too but il probably consider doing it anyways

shreads

Not much chance here without an engine swap?

Just save your money for maintenance costs etc, build up your insurance NCD then sell the 1.6 and buy a 1.8T in a year or so, they can be had for as little as two and a half grand these days.

The insurance will totally shaft you for throttle bodies or an engine swap on the 1.6... it would be easier and cheaper to just buy a 1.8T

I would say remap, but with a non-turbo engine you're not likely to see more than about 10% that way.

You can get 160 to 180 reliably out of a built 1.6l motor, but by the time you've got it, buying a 1.8T car and keeping the 1.6 would be cheaper!
