Ok. So i just got a 2001 GTI; 2.0L Turbo 4 Cylinder with a turbo exhaust, cold air intake system, and magnaflow catback. I want to know what else i can do to make it go FASTER or look sweeter. Any ideas?

Take out the interior and chip it to make it go faster.
Put big wheels on it and lower it to make it 'look sweeter'.

They didn't make a 2.0T in the Mk4 platform, it's a 1.8T 20v unless you've bought a converted 8v.
And as for making it look better and go faster...........the world is you oyster my friend.
But use the search function! :laugh:

Hate to be pedantic, but a 2001 Golf would be a Mk4, and they didn't make a Mk4 2.0L Turbo. It'd either be a 1.8L Turbo (150 or 180bhp as standard) or a 2.0 8v (115bhp).

Easiest way to make a Mk4 1.8T faster is to chip it, will see you up to 200bhp before you need to do other mods. Then you can upgrade the Turbo.
If your car is the 2.0L 8v, it's not quite as simple but you can still chip it for a small increase in BHP.
As for exterior mods, look at some 18inch alloys and lower it too. Keep it clean, don't clutter it with add on sticky bits.

lets hope for your sake it is the 1.8T!!!!! which can be made to be very quick fairly easily...
if its the 2.0 however, best just to except your fate or sell up and buy another
