Cams, tuned exhaust, head work, or forced induction... you might even see 100 horses if the pistons don't melt, but then you can fit forged internals to combat that. Fuel pump and injectors might need upgrading too. Easy to do with a large enough wallet.

Best thing to do however, is not bother. Even if you doubled the power, you'd probably have spent enough on it to buy an M3.

indeed, strip it out and spend some $$ on the handling (look at what I drive) you'll still be have a smile a minute.
Oh and learn to drive , conserve momentum because you have no acceleration :evil:

I'd like to see someone use the 1.2 turbo engine in a mk2. Aside from that, dont bother, just make sure it's running as well as it can be with proper servicing

Definitely. Small, lightweight, underpowered cars are great for improving your driving :approve: You come to appreciate the importance of maintaining speed through and out of bends.
