Yeh you really won't get much more. But if your interested a better airflow kit, less restrictive manifold (if you haven't already got one), uprated cams and a remap would help. But were really talking tiny tiny gains for alot of money.

bhp is only a measure of how quick the work is done , so id say make it less work for the power you already have (read reduce the weight)

I reckon you could get 120-125bhp with a decent manifold, induction kit, exhaust, fast road cams and a re-map.

A lot of money to spend though, especially the camshafts which will set you back £800-1000 with labour.

I would be cheaper to buy a GTI engine

cheapest way to make a car faster, without moreinsurance etc - is to make it lighter.

What's a scorpion system? How much does it cost?

I have the same model as you but am finding it lacks guts and throttle response in nearly every gear, I've read stuff on the remapping but 8bhp gains sounds tiny for the cost and without being able to try the difference first.

Scorpion Exhaust System 8)
If you want a big increase in power without spending mega bucks then get yourself a NOS kit, £600 for a wet kit.

Get either a 50 or 75 shot and you will notice a huge gain in power :)
Some lad did it on Club Polo to his 1.4 75bhp 6N2, just a 50 shot he had but they can easily handle a 75 shot.

I have decided to get a remap by DMF Technic : Mobile ECU ReMapping in Poole Dorset & Hampshire.

I will be having it done tomorrow, so I will keep this thread updated with what I find out.

At the moment I have the following:

2001 6N2 100BHP

Full Scorpion Exhasaust System (CAT to Back)
BMC Induction Kit

With the Re-map you should see around 110-112bhp Alan

Might be worth taking it to a company with a rolling road to get it on the dyno
