Hi all just a quick one, just wondering what kind of mods i can do to my Leon which is only a 1.4 to get the most bhp gains out of it, totally standard as only purchased last week! thank to anyone who replies!
 
-Optimize air flow to the filter
-Upgrade panel filter of closed performance (like Pipercross Venom/Viper)
-Upgrade the entire exhaust system inc header
-Lose as much (dead) weight as possible (best option btw). Less weight is better performance and more fuel economy

Remap is possible, but dont bet on big gains. If you want bigger power, save money and buy a 1.8T.

Good luck!
 
Out of a 1.4 N/A i think you'll get minimum gains from anything really but a basic one would be to get better air flow into the engine so a couple of options. New panel filter pipercross one maybe, smooth and drill out the airbox (free mod so worth doing) Or the most expensive would be a induction kit im not too sure how much it would benfit from exhaust modifications but id look in the readers ride section for inspiration :)
 
Don't spend much money mate exhaust and induction kit for looks and sound only really gains will be a few bhp at most.
