a Fuel pressure regulator ups the pressure the fuel goes in, but not sure if you can do that with a carb.
Putting 'high performance' leads on won't make any difference to the performance, but they look nice in blue :D
Apparently the gti cam is a simple, but effective upgrade to the driver engine.
a free flowing filter will free up 0.5 bhp :D

yes it will fit straight on.

not sure if the driver exhaust bore is smaller or not than the 8v GTI - someone else should be able to confirm

don't think the driver exhaust will fit the manifold but i'f you're gonna put a gti manifold on you might as well put on the rest of a gti system....

Take a look at getting a webber carb to replace the crappy pierburg one. The webber if set up right should give you a nice boost. Either that or the the bolt on K & N filter might be alright. I think there's a webber on ebay at the moment, might be worth a look. The cam would be a good place to start as mentioned earlier.

Strangely enough, I never really bothered doing any engine mods to my driver when I had it, but then it had done over 215,000 and had a crack in the head! Ha I can remember the tank now!!
