Yes 1.4L turbo or 1.8L N/A. The 1.4s can be tuned for more power pretty easily.

Yea intake and tune you get right around 160-165 hp and 185ish torque

Some dude ran a high 12ish 1/4 mile beating an Sti.. But he had a couple grand in it.. Car is not worth putting that much into it IMO

It's not the point of doing it your self and saving money, it's the point of something expensive will break. And it'll keep happening....and happening.
