2.0 8v tuning?

[zdebx]

Khare can you please post again the picture of your drilled airbox. I want to do it too

Sell it and buy a Turbo 

+1

No point in modding an 8v unless you are hitting it hard like khare and ben since you will see relatively no gains!

To be fair the higher spec models arent even that much more expensive at all!
Would go with Wayne on the turbo option

And don't say "its because if insurance i've gone for the 8v" because declaring mods will Increase your premium ten fold!!

I dont want a 1.8t. My reason for that is my car is a MK4 colour concept, i dont want massive gains from the engine anyways just a litle bit more poke and response

I think i will drill the airbox if you can get some pics up and i may look into cams. If i wanted good gains i could supercharge but again VERY expensive for the performance gain. At the very best i think you could get 200bhp out of the engine then from there components will fail and NOS will be in order lol

Lightened Flywheel, ported TB and modded airbox will give you some good gains in responsiveness and for not a lot of pennies.

Actually I probably spent 2 or 3 hours overall on my air box.

this WAS it


But then I modified it even further by cutting out sections rather than drilling holes. I've also put a big cold air feed on it, goes from the front lower bumper air intake to the front of the airbox. I'll get pics up tomorrow.
