Chain is appropriate as it has the missing letter from most of the words in the OP's post  :laugh:

Unfortunately not a lot. I've had one (150bhp) and you are better off looking at other mods than engine mods as it's not particularly cheap to get anything out of it.

Dont waste your time with the v5 realistic map figure will be about 12bhp max and thats with a decent custom exhaust etc!! if you plan on keeping the car just make it look better!
