any ideas peeps

Their right, there is no point as you won't get any gains! And if you do its a lot of money to gain absolutely minimal!

Click on the search at the top and have a look at various threads as it does get asked a lot!

If you want more power swap the engine

What he said ^^

Nothing you do, exhausts, filters ect. will make any noticable differance to the power of the stupid 8v.

Change the engine or buy a different Mk3.

Mate I don't have the money, but when my 8v died I bought myself everything to do a vr6 conversion! And am doing that right now. Click on my link at the bottom of this, and also look at other peoples conversions in the same section,

See my bodywork is pretty mint apart from a few little bits around one window and the tailgate, hence I decided to change the lump! Plus the car was given to me and I know the complete history of the motor! Its a tough choice to make what to do but have a read up on various peoples projects etc
