Sell it and buy a vr6 or if you have the cash a r32 .What I mean is you are talking big money if you want to increase the power on a 2.0 8v golf gti as they are well underpowered. The money you would have to spend on the engine could be cash you could spend on a 2.8 litre vr6 golf=174 bhp in STANDARD form or if you had the cash buy a 3.2 litre r32= 250 bhp in STANDARD form. Sell your underpowered 2.0 8 valve golf gti that keeps on getting burned off by fiat punto 1.4gt turbo,s etc etc and by a more powerfull golf like the models that I have listed vr6 or a r32 they also did a 1.8t version which has approx 180 bhp in Standard form.

I do not think it's worth the hassle and the money!!!

You'll get a slight increase in power - certainly not enough to make the car feel faster, what you will get though is a great noise, a K&N air filter will create more induction roar and make it sound better. I'd say go for it mate :)

no, if anything itll be worse... its an injected engine, so you cant do a whole lot to it. (without spending lots) but if you want to spend a few quid, get it ported and gasflowed with a stage 3 cam... put a big bore exhaust and a decent air filter..NOT a k&n piece of junk. look at old F1 cars, and modernish bikes, they had ram stacks, or bellmouths, its creates a swirl in the inlet tract and drags fuel in with it, with no restrictions, and it gets rid of the gasses as fast as possible thru 4-6 or 8 balanced pipes of equal length... and thats why they can go so fast... not coz of fancy bling bollox... induction roar isnt power..going forwards faster than your mate..thats power...
