I think someone on here has achieved 110BHP from an X14XE
Generally depends what you really want to be honest.

12bhp onto a standard engine is quite abit.
I'd say with a decent exhaust, decat and a inlet, be close to 100bhp

drop a redtop in. 200 bhp from a 1.4 takes 10k+

Buy the XE and change the parts on it whilst it's out of the car.... trust me on that 1

If your going to XE yours next year, start getting things like decent suspension setup, bushes, roll cage. Or just leave it as it is and save the money.
