Golf Mk4 1.6SE - noel2538

Hi

I have a Golf 1.6SE(8V)petrol, its done 70k and is on a 99 plate.
Is it possible to have it 'chipped' and is it worth spending the money on it? I'd like to increase its perforance and BHP.

Thanks Noel

couldn't say, but I thought that the 1.6 was factory souped up anyhow-IIRC it is quite a bit more powerful than the 1.8 unit.
