Can't afford the insuarnce it's to high atm

Ring your insurance company and ask them how much it'll be for a 1.4 with bike carbs and a remap...I bet there isn't a huge amount in it.

As said above stand alone management will be needed to see any actual gains which will be flipping expensive and a lot of hassle to get working. After all that it'll still be slower than an 8v Gti, seems pretty daft to me :undecided:

The cost of putting carbs on your car, getting it mapped etc. will cost way more than the extra cost of insurance

I have said this before and the best and easiest/cost effective way to get more power from a 1.4 is to fit a 1.6!

15bhp with minimal effort/outlay.....
