My sister has a 2.0. Are there any worth while mods i could do to it? I dont know if its worth the effort, its pretty slow, but it would be cool to get my sister more interested in modding cars.
no one in my family consulted me before they bought the car, even though i am a big car enthusiast. It would be a fun car if it had more power and was manual.
Re: is my sisters 2.0 worth modding? (VWturbo2Ltr)
I say don't bother with the little things, get a turbo outright!!!...i wish i hadent modded my car so much, cause by now, all the money i had in cosmetics, cam, and all the other stuff i can have a really decent turbo...which i would rather have, but now that i have all these parts, i would miss them...so...hehe...
An automatic 2.0?
I have a 5 speed TDI with 90 hp.
Ask your sister if she wants to race for pink slips... hahaha
I wouldn't modify that car. No offense but $3,000 later it is still going to get it's ass handed to it by stock Japanese economy cars.
The 2.0 is not a performance engine no matter how many thousands of dollars you waste trying to convince yourself it is.

I agree.. save up 2k and slap a turbo on there.. Can I modd your sister? J/K
"Put an exhaust,chip and a cam and it will outrun your gli.If it is still stock.I was faster then my friends 16v gti with these mods."
a chipped/exhaust/cammed 2.0 will NOT outrun a stock 1.8l/2.0l 16v thats running in good tune.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you need to come out of the little world you live in and find someone to give you a ride in their 2.0 turbo, auto or stick, it will SMOKE a stock Japanese car, aside from a WRX, but even those can be beaten by a properly tuned Dub
it is better to be an idiot and not say anything rather then open your mouth and prove it
You can get a chip and a K&N filter for the car for around $150. Fairly cheap and a noticable improvement.
Might be enough of a 'power increase' to whet her appitite for more mods. But, if she doesn't want to tune it further, you're not out too much cash.

... 'course it's not a VW 2.0 but I still think that's funny[HR][/HR]
Yeah, that is a horiz. opposed 2.0 at that... I wish more manufacturers made horiz. opp. engines... they are really smooth
I got a ride in a wrx once... really cool... the power on those are so smooth that during a 0-60 you can't believe your actually accelerating that fast.
