Guest suffolk04 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 induction kit,plugs and lead and de-cat would be cheapest options, although would only give you 10-15bhp extra if that. Tried taking some weight out of the car? some people always forget about that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stally08 Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 removing the engine and put a faster one in like a rs2000 engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steelcabby Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) as above. grab yourself a rotten mk5 RS2000 and swap the lot over. 150bhp before you have tuned it straight away. also you can have the bulge bonnet. then break the rest and get your money back on what you spent buying the donor. it all fits straight it chap. oh and is this a mk5? or mk5a/b? wiring is different in the mk5, mk5a/b and mk6 RS2000's http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1378474.htm Edited December 3, 2009 by steelcabby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
