Hello jetta junkies I am new to the site and have read a few threads before joining and decided this is the right place!
I have a few questions, I am not entirely happy with the engine performance and the lack of horsepower on my 2001 jetta 2.0L GLS. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to suggest some performance upgrades that aren't going to cost thousands. Perfomance chips, intake, exhaust ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx and hope to talk to you all lots!

haha.... the good old 2.slow...... j/k bro..... I would suggest pulley's, exhaust, turbo, I have also herd of the 2.0's getting shaved heads for more compresion that will help your results.... anyways welcome good luck...

Yeah just minor stuff eh! well that kind of sucks but o well. Have you heard anything about these performance chips? the ones that are like 200 bucks and they apparently increase your hp and torque? Or is that stuff all just a big joke and does nothing?

So i take it that no one has heard or been witness to the use of these cheap chips, that apparently can add a little horse to a car? well if anyone has anything to say or any input or anything like that let me know thx

Wassup Im lookin into chipping right now and have been doin some research on them and ive found that in my research that neuspeed has thew best chips and im in the process of getting my 05 gli chipped but there again i have a 1.8t and have no experience with 2.0 volkswagon but loads of experience with the 2.0 Mitsubishi motors

yeah from what i understood and heard from people that i have spoken to they have told me that there is nothing out there for chipping a 2.0 GLS which sucks cause it is the most gutless of all the VW models out there, and you can't do anything even if you want to, but if anyone else has heard of a way or knows of somehow to give me a bit more juice, not tons but more none the less haha.

If your that dissatisfied do a motor swap........ I would suggest looking around more I am sure there is something out there for the gls to make it fast and look nice........ Try http://thepartsbin.com they have a lot of Universal things that will fit alldifferent jettas....... anyways good luck

Yeah thx man, I did some looking around and found some guys talking about goin with a s/c from neuspeed and they say that it should increase hp by approx. 50% or so, so that is a definate increase but then again a S/C will cost around 2 grand so therefore don't know whether or not it is worth it, if anyone else hears anything else to give my good ol' 2.0 a boost let me know!

Turbos....... Superchargers......... Shaved Heads.... Puleys........ Full exhaust......... all of it.... Just keep working at it little by little and you'll notice a difference..

 

[V-DUB]

Yeah that is true to true, do you have any clue what a turbo or supercharger would cost, because one guy told me you could get a s/c for like 800 on ebay, all i found were ones like around 2500 big difference haha!

Lol...... look for the small aluminum cork screw s/c...... brand name doesn't matter to me they all work the same..... and s/c are usually around 800-1000..... 1200 must be a nice s/c......

The turbo would probably be a little cheaper....... and in the long run would probably help you more because it doesn't take any power away from your pulleys..........

But then again the s/c can be run dual exhaust, fuel rails, all that so just look into what they do and how each of them work and go from there...... i'd keep looking for a cheaper s/c too!!!
