What can be done to the gti to up the power without spending fortunes?Im thinking around 200bhp?
It already has a k&n and full decat exhaust.
Cams?
Manifolds?

Been covered on here hundreds of times mate so you won't get much of a response. Your best bet for more power under a grand is cams (Mild ones lik PT81s because valve to piston clearance is marginal on standard pistons) an induction kit (A proper one with a decent cold air feed) and a good exhaust (Magnex if you don't mind the noise) and maybe a decat if you don't mind a trip under the car to change it for MOTs once a year. But all that will only get you to maybe 185-190 without headwork / remap. For more you will be spending ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

If you want to make it go faster, it's far cheaper to lower the weight than boost the power! makes it a bit of a nightmare for commuting though! |

Its got a magnex on it with a decat..Its a second (3rd if you include the van) car. I think i'd take it on a track when i can. Im used to RWD so its a bit different for me, and its slower then my old car. Just thought it'd make a good track car as ive had one before and was impressed with it. Dont want to strip it out as ive got a 1 year old, she doesn't go in it, just would like to be able to if i needed to. Feels like im doind 120 at 80!! The rear Shocks are dead! Took it for a test drive at normal speeds, seemed ok. Took it out for a blast on some country lanes, lifted at speed and the back end tried to take off!!! |

Most will do that mate  LOOS!Get it lowered, suspension refresh and maybe some solid rear beam mounts, before you add more power. ________________________________________ Chris1999 China Gti6 Supercharged  [Fun car] >>Project Thread<<2000 Bianca 306 Diesel [Work runabout] |
