congratulations mate just got one of these myself as a runaround, change the engine? trust me you won't need to do that as with a few fairly cheap mods they can be made into little pocket rockets ie removing the white ring from the fuel pump, increasing boost etc. Change the turbo from one from a 1.7 and bung in an intercooler and you'll really be flying. Heard people getting them to around 110-120bhp

The white ring modification, this is a white washer in the fuel pump diaphragm, which you can remove to increase fueling whilst on boost. This model can not be live remapped. Never done the turbo mod but google is your friend.
