A good service using quality parts, an exhaust and filter and then sort the handling. Gains will be minimal but as aleady said there isnt alot you can do with the 2.0 engine.

It probably could but the costs and time involved in doing it properly would be far far higher than just going out and buying a nice 1.8T.

Too much work! Plus 140 bhp in a car of that weight is embarrassing after what it'll cost..... Save for a 1.8 T  :smiley:
