   you really wont gain much from tuning a 1.1
   If your budget is that flexible, why not buy a vtr and put your 'budget' towards insurance?
   
   What are you hoping to get out of a 1.1?

   I agree, there is little point spending the money to gain such little bhp gains on a small engine.

   most cost effective way of adding bhp is engine swap tbh

   typical awnsers realy
   you could always put a furio/westy cam in it and map it aswell as better exhaust and intake systems

    dont bother! '1.1' and 'tuning' should never be in the same sentence imo.
