Re: Has any one tuned a 1.4 16v
If your planning for a 1.8T, save the money for that mate. There's no real point in tuning a pretty much untunable engine (without huge amounts of money put into it for significant gains) then taking it out further down the line.

^^^^^ I'd second what Tim's said, save the money & get to the 1.8T a bit quicker!

It's wasted money though mate IMO. If you want proper gains from a non-turbo petrol car, you've gotta put in proper money.revolutionrock wrote:but I am not in a hurry

If you are getting a shop to do the 1.8t conversion for you, you had better get saving. You are talking upwards of 5k at LEAST. A good conversion will set you back about 7 or 8k iirc.
