   to rebore a engine you need new pistons to fill the hole now really which you looking at £500 for a set.
   
   Boring doesnt make a difference to a engine its only really for if your block is warn and is to smooth it back to normal but at a bigger size.

   boring an engien out increases its CC so it does make a difference. but an a TU engien the walls are too thin to safely remove enough material to make boring worth while. if you did want to increase your CC though you could get a stroker kit. there is plenty more things you can do before this though as it isnt cheap.

   yes a diesel centre pipe will de-cat your car if the cat is under the car! for ease though i would just get a de-cat pipe second hand off ebay

   icreases the travel of the piston, giving it a longer stroke, so increasing your CC. not cheap though.
