get your self a 130spec ecu and cams and you may bet 5bhp. not worth the hassel tho, cahnge it to a 2.0 if you are chasing numbers.

in easy terms you made it 130spec just you never had the piston spray bars/pipes
bearing in mind his engine is the 115bhp so it would be on par with the 2i modifyed one.
