Get some stick on viper stripes = 5bhp

... now i was hoping for someone to recommend a air intake kit, maybe some stuff that might make a little difference .......

You will probably see the most increase from a custom remap, whether its worth the cash is for u to decide.

Could also do the usual breather mods to help, Exhaust, Decat, decent panel filter( induction setup)

Other than that, you will see more gain (as such) if you remove weight, or do suspension/brake upgrades.

Seriously, a 1.4? Don't bother, save your money for a car with a bigger engine

Throwing money away

Ok a serious answer....

First off I'd purchase an aftermarket exhaust system off of someone with a good rep (not an ebay special) I'd then see about any induction set ups that are recommended (ask on here) I'd then try to make full use of these mods by having a live map done at a tuning specialist.

About the cheapest way to go about getting a bit more power, more than anything it should make the power of the car much more useable.

Hope that helps.

N/A + Modding = Loss

To be blunt

Don't bother, put the money your willing to spend in a seperate account then use it to buy a turbo or charged motor

Don't bother with the engine spend it on suspension and brakes.
