    u alright mate i saw ur ad on the internet and thought i could mayb help u out.my names malcolm mclellan and im currently runnin an xsi at 130bhp,and i tell u nothin much can touch it. im a technician with gmc motorsport and we specailise in citroens but as u know there just the same as pugs. if ur lookin to hike up the power of ur pug without spendin a lot of dough, i suggest u buy a four branch manifold and induction kit, the power they release is unbelievable, if ur lookin for more go for a gas flowed and ported cylinder head with a high lift cam kit and dastek piggy back ecu chip to set it all up properly. then custom make an exhauast with no silencers except for the back box. the whole idea of tunin these small cars is simple if u stick to this, u want as much cold compressed dense air going into the engine as possible and u want as rid of the spent gasses as quickly as possible. thats the secret. im currently workin on the idea of supercharging the wee fellow, ive done plenty of vtrs and vts but as u know theres limited space under the bonnet of the pugs. should be fun with power hikes of up to 200bhp!!!! u need any more info post here malc.

    Hi there, i am currently running a pug 106 1.6 xsi and i already have all the basic upgrades, pug sport exhaust, supersprint 4 2 1 manifold and upgraded ht leads and plugs and a air filter but i am looking to do a bit more as i want more power. I am looking to chipping it but i am struggleing to find proper details on where is best. I am going to contact dastec to see what they can do for me but i can see that u work for GMC so u must know your stuff. If u have any advice and where to go and a price i would be very greatful. I have noticed a lot of peeople running sprint cars are uing a peugeot talbot sport ecu on the 106, do u know where abouts i could get 1, if they are of any use to me that is.

    Kind Regards
