Title: More poke from my 8v
Post by: Jamesd1263 on 02 February 2014, 22:52

Recently bought a little 8v mk2 gti I'm looking to get a little more poke out of it? Anything you guys can reccomend?

It will be having a transplant next year just want some extra ponies now.

Cam and pulley and usual breather mods I take it?

Cheers james

I would not bother, save your money towards the transplant.

Few hundred quid. Shells solid suspensions sorted, could probably do some poly bushing etc. engine needs a cambelt doing so I though I could whack a cam in whilst it was apart
