about 130, would make 140 with a decent mapped chip
could do with a decent free flowing exhaust to give you some more torque and a smoother power curve

I had 1.8 105 with OMEX ECU, standard cams, XR3i throttle body, 2.5" exhaust with 4-2-1 manifold and a sports cat, skimmed and polished head, put out around 155 bhp. For serious power gains, ditch the standard inlet and go for a set of Jenveys.

How much did the polished and ported head set you back?
