I havnt really posted on here before, but i use pug306.net quite abit (please dont hurt me)

Iv had the gti6 for a couple of months now and im getting a little bit bored, well i lie... its good fun to drive, but i want a bit more power

nothing silly, 200bhp would do me

only thing is, i dont want to spend a fortune, nor do i want to effect the life of the engine too much (im doing 300-400miles a week atm)

so, does anyone have an advice on how to get the extra power?

i was thinking of throttle bodies at first, but £xxxx for 20bhp?

then i thought about trying to find a secondhand turbo set up that someone may be selling, but struggled to find anything.

i heard about cams, but not much.

Iv never 'tuned/modded' a petrol engine before so im not sure what it is that people do, so and help would be great

so far the only performance mod iv done is a stainless cat back exhaust.
with airfilters.... whats recommended? KnN standard replacement ok? or get something else?

Thanks in advance

U wont get much out of it as said on msn without spending ££££ with the filter get the k&n replacement and give it a good service

theres the proven supercharger setup that rich_w produces, an "off the shelf" package that is near on a bolt on setup which on low boost will see around 240-260 bhp, have a search throught some of the projects as theres a fair few been done now.

ive gone down the N/A route with tb's, cams on a 2.1 steel bottom end, but it depends what your looking to have out of the car, if your doing 300 miles plus a week the supercharger kit is probably the better way to go.

i would too

people told me it would cost atleast £1000 minimum to get my 306hdi to 150+ bhp and i did it for less than £500....

im sure theres ways and means

as said, your not going to get near 200 without spending lots of moneys.

supercharger route is best bet if going for 200-260bhp, but its going to cost. the alternative route is change the cams and get it remapped by wayne, but even for that your looking at close to £1k

ye a 3.0 v6 conversion will be cheapest if you do all the work yourself. but thats if you can get an engine at a good price from someone

He speaks the truth, the most useable gains in outright speed come from higher corner speeds, decent handling, propper tyres and good driving will see you past many more powerful cars if you do it right. Besides, the straights are just the boring bits that link the corners
