forget the chip, turbo technics kit is the way to go, i was running near 1 bar boost on 10.5:1 rebuilt twinky on a T25 and High lift cams, 220bhp and 240 ft lb.

Look in resto you will see pics,

I reckon you could make a kit quite easy

You can get a Powerchip off ebay for 'about' £85 but the DOHC responds really well to some headwork (porting).
Use some fast-road cams with a ported head and a 4-2-1 manifold an they really shift Slightly larger flowing injectors help too.
