Not worth the hassle tbh.

Will gain very little if anything.

There's a guy called bizimoto from America who does low capacity honda tuning...

He got 360 BHP from an NA 1.6 and 760 once it'd been tuned, for inspiration you could look at the work he did.

I'm sure you would be able to, but it'd cost a LOT of money to get any decent power.

isn't that a vtec and ain't the car designed to be sporty in the first place? What I'm saying is that is a good engine to start with and is easier to tune.

You will never get that from a 1.4 na mk3 golf. Even if you wanted 150bhp your looking at a lot of money and a turbo. So it would make much more sense to leave it alone, save your money and buy a abf
