you wouldnt get much gains from just fitting your manny alone as it would be restricted by the cat and standard system, would need to upgrade your whole exhaust system aswell.
try a sport cat then a cat back system?
then if you want more power try cams, fitting a 2ltr head etc

a remap maybe?
does it feel sluggish or is it just not as quick as you expected?

On the mk1 there isnt that much difference in acceleration/speed to the 1.6, just that the top end is a bit higher.

If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

you can see that the 1.6 is 109bhp and the 1.8 114bhp

Thats why alot of highly modified foci are the 2L which are 129bhp standard

best thing to do is get it on a dyno, see what the output is then investigate if there is.
