would replacing mk4 1.4 parts with 1.6 parts increase performance?
« on: 15 April 2012, 02:53 »
im thinking about changing a few things when i redo head gasket on car was wondering if any parts of the 1.6 would fit and give it a lil bit more oomph? (already running remapped ecu, direct port air feed, uprated leads and lightweight pulleys

Engine still a 1.4??? To be honest wasting money but if wanted to go a head needs cams, exh, branch manifold. But all this may aswell get gti turbo. If you have money jenvey or hyabusa throttle bodies, seen throttle body set up on 2.0lt 20v awesome.

Rebuild a 1.8t? Steady then it's all fresh - as long as its built properly
