i was thinking about getting an aftermarket racing chip for my golf (2001 2.0) but im not completly sure of what they do like how does it affect the performance side and what would be the best chip to get for my golf.

thanks

 

i dont think a chip for a 2.0 golf will do much. In my opinion it's not worth it. They'd probabaly run yah like 80-150 or something? and give you like 3whp

 

Agreed, waste of money for a 2 liter. But usually what they do is change timing a little bit on an NA motor, nothing drastic. If it was a turbo car, then it would be a different story.

 

whats the best mod i can get for my golf that wont kill my wallet. i hear a lot of peoples opions but most of them like me dont know what they are talking about im looking for engine performance more than anything else so if you guys could help me out i would appreciate it a lot.

thanks.

 

CAI= $45 on ebay, and exhaust is about all you can do w/o spray that will give your car a bit more power

 

i already have CAI and i doubt that and exhaust will be the only mod that will give me hp.

 

there must be something other than intake and exhaust to get more than a 3 hp gain. besides turbo

 

put a jet engine in it

 

Motor swap?? Or massive motor work. Port and polish the head, cams, bore and stroke, lighten and balance everything so you can rev to 9k, through some high compression pistons in and you are good to go. All of that would cost probably three times a turbo kit and would yeild half the power. Bottom line, 2 liters stink for performance, but do what makes you happy. A nice direct port set-up could be installed, run a 150 shot.

 

yeah the 2.0 is old school. its not a strong motor(Robb).

Motor swap
get a new car that you want to be your fast car
