Is it worth having a Corsa 1.4 16v bored out to a higher cc?

What kind of cost would you be looking at and are there better ways to gain power for the same cash?

Hmm ok then, ill look at other ways of improving it.

how much would a port and polish be? Isnt there a downside to doing that?

Just been looking at the FSE powerboost valve, are they worth having?

No point in boring out the 1.4, when you can pick up a 1.6 bottom end complete for £50.
As said a FSE is really a wasted of time unless you have other mods, and even so it's a cheap fix.
A less restrictive inlet is the best way to boost power from your car. it will cost less than a port and polish (a good one) and will give better gains.
