no point in tuning a 1.4 mate.. unless you stick nos in it  :evil: but i doubt even the gearbox would handle it.
by the way, are you serious?.

to be honset, your not going to get any results from tuning the 1.4. just wait till you can afford a 1.8t.

as said, don`t bother with the cherry bomb, they are so 1990`s and sound chavvy and sh!t.
go with an aftermarket backbox by all means if thats your thing, youre better off buying a direct fit one by the way.
but youre not really going to benefit performance wise, also any mod needs to be declared.

Save up for a 1.8t turbo then instead. You are gonna get no worthwhile gains from a 1.4!

Just do bodywork mods an when you can afford a 1.8t then just swap the parts over
