if i was to get my corsa sport 1.4 16v re-mapped and chipped, could it do any damage to my engine?

only to the extent that what a re-map is, just puts more fuel in and raises the rev limiter, so your car will become under more stress possibly due to being stretch all over electronically, but is their any need to mate? as you can buy things to make a 1.4 16v faster without having to touch the ecu.

get a four branch manifold, iv got one on mine and its make the throttle responce alot better and can feel more torque possibly more bhp to, and then you can get the power box for the inlet thats suposed to free up about 15bhp aparently, im looking into getting one of these next for mine. and then without messing with the ecu, you could start to remove the interior and just keep the bare essentials.
