   Not alot tbh mate..
   
   You would need a cam and map or strip it abit..
   
   My old Westy was stripped and it would hang onto a VTR until around 75-80mph then the extra torque and power of the VTR would mean it pulled away..

   cheapest way would probably be to buy a vtr engine i think. Otherwise its a lot of money and work to tune a 1.4 with 75bhp up to 100bhp

    You declare the VTS conversion maybe?
    
    Also lol @ leaving everybody behind when a car turns off... all they'll think is "what a prick, hope that was worth wasting his petrol for, to try and impress me a 60 year old man"

    power to pull away from other cars = torque. Turbos best for that if you want to keep the 1400. If i were you ide drop a vtr in as the others said.
    
    Failing that stripping out most of the interior will make a noticeable difference to 0/60
