What would you suggest for the first few mods to get more torque out of a 1.4 16v (bar engine transplant) Top speed is not too much of an issue, all I want is torque, although abviously any extra top end that comes as a result is a bonus

Yes they do TB's for the 1400 16v, but prepare for your wallet to empty sharpish!

Drilled air bix with K&N panel filter will be more than sufficient. Get a cold air feed to the holes underneath so it can suck in more cold air.

I had a quick look at the air box yesterday, it quite deep. Do the holes go on the actual bottom or on the sides?

How does it work as the standard air pipe goes to the top of the box??? How come you drill at the bottom?

For £200 will it be any better than a drilled box?

best way to get torque is a turbo or nitrous.

How much is a turbo gonna be though?

Nitrous was my plan all along until I found out that no insurance company will touch it - I really wanna stay as legal as poss!
