remember though that their 1.2 thay they tuned put out around 44bhp, and thats on an 80k miles engine. With all the bits they put on, they got it to 57bhp, but what is more important is that torque increased to 69 lb/ft. Thats not bad at all considering the engine capacity etc. That particular 1.2 with those mods would pull very well indeed. | |

There was a whole feature in last months total vauxhall mag on tuning the 1.2 8v lump, so it might be worth a try getting hold of a copy! | |

erm BFO sounds good, but ur acceleration will drop seriously with it. They design was created expecially for the 1.4 and 1.6 16V engines, and i've found significant power decreases with the BFO cone on my 1.2 8v. I think this is mainly due to it being too large, in comparison with the engine size. | |

Rember De-cat is a failure point on MOT unless you know someone who is willing to ignore it at an MOT place. | |
