go to www.fixxtuning.com and look at the chips for your motor...they also have a lot of performance stuff..if you want power get one of the turbo upgrades from www.eiptuning.com
theres a lot out there..

They have a K04 kit that puts about 250 to the wheels for $1699.
Also check www.atpturbo.com, they have several kits.
I personally would go with a GT28RS.

want to keep the stock turbo, i herd it can spike about 20psi, im happy with that..plus how much more can the stock block handle? im already planning the chip...i cant find the gains for a CAI or Full turboback exhuast....and exhuast cost 2x the price of a chip...does anybody know were i would be with these 3 basic bolt ons..chips, exhuast, intake....i also am replacing the rubber...17's or 18's will be on there soon...order of installation:
wheels
chip
exhuast/intake
im not sure how the airflow is with the stock Intake box and exhaust....if there isnt that much of an improvement i will just keep the stock...any VW techs? i never really messed with these cars....ahh, and i forgot..my last step..BOV...if i have any money left over.

I would be carful about the BOV... not all turbo VWs respond well with them. I would make sure you do your research and find one that works with almost everybodys car. VWs are picky little fuckers.
