if you've got a full stainless steel system, as in from manifold to back box then u'de have to start looking into cams and stuff like that, cat cams are good for corsa's. but otherwise, do you have a de-cat? if not then get one (make sure u keep the cat for mot's though)
. another good bit of power are the spark plugs, go on ebay or something like that and look into getting some IRIDIUM plugs.

Hi i have a 1.4 GLs and for some good power i found putting a performance chip on and port & polish on gives you a fair bit of power also upgrading your valves help and is not that bad on price. Pro-chip is about £80 ish of ebay, P&P is £50 from a engineer and about the same for valves.
