Hi mate, welcome to the forum! Firstly we'd need to know what size engine you have! There's lots to be done to almost every nova engine, even the 1.2 spi will produce sr power with a few choice mods. Try having a search, there's some tuning guides stickied.

Will it John ? - What could I do to mines to improve it ?

I already have a K&N filter and might be getting a Magnex backbox..

Check out adams wip thread, believe it or not he started life with a 1.2 spi! Probably best pming him, or waiting for a reply here, iirc he fitted a 4 branch manifold, gte cam, cav spi tb and some other choice bits. At a guess i'd say 65bhp??

so tuning a 1.2 is still worse than a std 1.3 or 1.4 then, & the insurance will screw you if you actually tell them.

Just offering some advice tbh, we need to know what type of engine he's got.
