These are very rough prices - chipped, couple of hundered - Straight through exhaust 100-150 but not worth it if ur luking performance - strip it for free - or just go mad and drop in a red top for bout 1250

best of dropping in a 1.6 16v imo.
if you want to tune the 1.4 then get
Inlet manifold £250ish
ind kit £50
Exhaust/decat £300
Cams £250+
Remap £300ish

U can get shitty induction kits for £50, the proper ones r about 200+. Theyre not much use. Ihave a k+n worth 90 (only paid 15 lol) and it doesnt do anything for performnce just gives u a bita noise

drives better than a modded 1.4 and also responds better to mods. £350 will get you x16xe engine and theres 108bhp to start with.
then later add inlet and remap and you will get 130ish bhp, more with cams/exhaust manifold
