What can I do to my mk2 1.8GL Auto?

can i also fit an 8v gti cam to my 1.6 driver??
its an 89 model

Yes you can. The 1.8 carb cam is better than the 1.6, the gti 8v cam will go in both.

Mmm kay, another quickie.

I currently have a K&N replacement filter in my standard air box, is it worth drilling a few holes or replacing with a proper bolt on? or neither.


I was confused by anothe post on here, people just started slagging each other off hehe.

K&N induction kit or panel filter won't do a lot for your car. Unlike the gti the carb models aren't set up for performance.

Ok so I say sod the bolt on and leave it as it is...

BTW the carb - can i get a twin webber for it? [i shall call them up and check just incase nobody knows]...also is there any point?

Appoligies for the questions but im learning fast...i think.

A weber is a better carb than the pierburg unit you have at the moment and gives less hassle. although you will have to convert to manual choke but you get all the cables in the kit.

A lot of people haven't got a clue about how to set a 2E2 carb up.
