Paul Goy racing on the Allenby estate or there's a place in Waddington that's supposed to be ok too. I know where it is but can't remember the name!!??  :-[

As for power gains on the valver, K&N panel filter with full exhaust should give you a bit and/or get the head polished and ported. Volkskraft in Fiskerton did the work on mine and are pretty reasonable on costs too

Mk2 16v are well fast, unfortunately they can't be chipped as they are mechanical fuel injection  :)

It can't be done, k-jet has no ECU only ignition control unit. No ECU no chip  >:(
Was that 8v you sold Marcus tuned up? sounds like it mate.
