Ive never really got this "doing it different" kind of mentality tbh.
IMO you could spend another 4k on that setup and doubt you would see more than 150BHP, the kit doesnt even mention lowering the compression which is probably why it can only give 40% over standard (135 BHP)
Dont get me wrong, you can make big power from the 1.4, but you could spend 10K to get to 200BHP and pretty much none of your original engine would remain
If you have a spare 4k then go for it, but for that you could get and fit a 350BHP LET and Id much rather have that than a different 1.4
Just my 2p worth, not havin a dig

Incidentally you could have my 280BHP LET and F28 for £1500
