it's not going to make it any faster.  sadly 2.0 mk4's allways were slow and will allways be slow.

Yep, fat and heavy and the possible 1 or 2 bhp increase will make no difference!

I shouldn't come in this section.  It's not safe for me.

Use the right filter.

Use the sparkplugs recommended for your car.  They are NOT universal.  :rolleyes:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
