yes, yes and yes ideally get yourself a complete MK2 1.8 gti zaust on there, just that on its own made a massive difference to my old 1.6, reved much more freely and just generally felt a bit more pokey
i have a 1.6 driver, with a gti cam, and exaust, and on koni's the difference is noticable =)sounds nice and lumpy, very pokey for a 1.6, and goes round corners very well, tho im moreof a cruiser really =)
