I was looking for a little more power
from the 2.0Liter 8Valve motor in my Jetta but I really did not want to modify
it that much. I decided that I would do the following:
1. JAMEX
SPORT Drop In Replacement
Air Filter
I decided against a cone style filter like the Neuspeed P-Flow because I
feel it defeats the purpose of installing a higher flow air filter that is
going to suck in the hot air in the engine compartment. The Jamex Sport air
filter is a direct replacement re-usable High Flow air filter that goes into
the factory air box...it Gives high flow and uses the cool air from the air
box.
2. AMS Power
Prom- Chip upgrade this is
a fast and easy way to increase power...the chip advances the timing, raises
the rev limit and top speed limiter...excellent increase in performance.
3.
MagnaFlow- Custom made exhaust...I wanted an exhaust that would be high flow
but I did NOT want it to be VERY loud like some of the other systems I had
heard, my muffler shop recommended MagnaFlow...They are mufflers that are
designedStraight through with no restrictions. No restrictions equals better
flow, and better flow equals more horsepower. While reducing the harsh, annoying
exhaust tones by blanketing them with a multi-layered wall of stainless steel
mesh and a dense acoustical absorbing material. I had my muffler shop make
2.5inch a cat-back system with a large 1inlet/2outlet MagnaFlow and
I had them slap on a set of DTM tips the sound is perfect!!!! Very deep but
not loud...and it looks great.
These three items provided a very noticeable performance increase and quicker
throttle response... just what the 2.0 8V needs. |
