throw it away and insert a redtop for starters or a v6 as these engines are dirt cheap at the moment

16 something.... That's a bit crap!!! My old C20NE had piper cross air filter and straight through exhaust and a full boot build of mdf and I got around 13 - 14 seconds with quite a bit of driver delay!!!

as said bust the cat out, standard 15" rims is better than bigger 17" rims

Blanking off all the egr bollocks is a good idea, or you could buy the 4branch manifold I have for an ecotec
