   For a start, the 1.1 is a bum engine to choose to tune, and youll fail emissions tests by fucking light years.

    carbs are a great way to step back in time.
    
    injection came after carbs for a reason.

    webber carbs on a golf mk2 then yeah sure :o
    
    engine transplants your best bet (everyone will say vts) but dont listen to them if you want a small increase and and on a tight budget you can get a vtr engine for under 100 these days :o or even a 1.4 but not much gain for the ammount of work :O 60 to 75 :s

    I'd maybe fit an enclosed and exhaust / manifold if I had money to burn but really I'd spend out of decent suspension / tyres. You may not be able to pull the skin off warm milk on the straights but there is no reason why you cannot make it up on the corners.
