just the usual stuff liek exhausts and induction kits...and by making ur car as light as possible will give it more torque as there isnt anything dragging it down...

a remap if angel tuning do one, making the car lighter would make it quicker but wont make the engine produce any more bhp/torque

Angel don't touch the 1.6 
You'd need to go for a piggyback chip.

Won't aid torque much.
Air filter, exhaust ect usually reduce peak torque.
Best thing is to learn to love revving the nuts off the 1.6.

It'd be cheaper to sell your 1.6 and buy a 2.0HGT if you want another 50BHP.
And probably a lot more reliable too.

ah, but he wants more torque, not necessarily more bhp. In which case, C'MON THE DIESELS!!! (in other words, swap your 1.6 for a JTD, lol)

lol, indeed 'mon the diesel. I've got more than twice the torques of a puny HGT - shame I can't get it all down on the road...yet
(I still want an HGT though)

1.6 bravo's dont have an on board diagnostic port to access the chip. So what Angel'd have to do is physically rip open the ecu housing and connect wires, piggyback it etc...
thats put simply. theres a tad more to it than that, lol
