Golf GTI 8V should top out at 124mph from VW specs..

And a 16v tops out at 137mph! Or so I'm told.

Thats not very impressive, i can get 110 out of my 1.4 at a push?!?!  Mind you torque does it for me, not speed     got 140 out my GT-Four though

Giffy a simple thing to do that dont cost jack would be to drill your air box you dont get any more power but you will get a nice induction roar that makes you think your going faster....

[Len]

Ah but does he have a drill?

 do what Homer did in the Simpsons

use a pick axe to make "speed holes" in his bonnet
