with the mods you have done to the car its unlikely you will get much more than you have qouted do to the mods as you are dumping in more fuel than normal but you may get a little more mileage if driven sensibly

hi, you won't get that amount of bhp out of the vw 1.4 with out doing any head work, but you made the right start, the head will need porting and polishing, bigger valves and a camshaft (fast road piper cam ) and you can get this upto 110 bhp. any mods you buy, don't belive the packaging, we have lads come in with a K&n and say thats made 15bhp differance, (it don't it's just loader, and then it getts driven for the noise not performance) good luck with modding though
