Aftermarket exhausts improve the looks and sound but don't do a great deal for BHP. The standard exhaust, despite being ugly, is actually quite efficient!

A cold air induction kit, AMD rebored throttle body and an ECU remap should see at least 190BHP. Add some 268 cams to the mix and you should definitely be on the right side of 200BHP.

i have a early obd1 95 model, surely a ECU remap wouldnt be a option for me, would chipping be more desirable? and is it safe for engine?

you can have an obd1 car remapped... what antera said is about as far as you can before it gets expensive

I think magpie has a later car so the tb mod isnt an option

sorry to hijack but do you loose torque with 268 cams
and would a corrado inlet manifold give you anything?
