[QUOTE="dubbinjet, post: 1168374, member: 562721"] woohoo, a topic i know about...vws. okay, i had a 98 2.0 vw jetta. it was a quick little car but sure as hell not fast. now, i do know a guy that had turboed his GTI 2.0 with the ATP kit. he was running pretty fast times. but he had went through 2 trannys with it. i know a turbo'd 2.0 will be a beast, but nothing that is near the capabilities of a 1.8T or a vr6 without $$$$$$$$$$ into it. i sold my 2.0 jetta and bought myself a 1.8T. i love it, the only thing i miss about it is that my mk3 was a little less bulky and more sleek lookin. personally, i would either look into a 2.8 VR6 swap, or get a 1.8T. what year is your car? if you have an mk3 then if you swap in a 1.8T or VR6 it will be quite fast with some mods. so overall, i would forget the 2.0 and get another motor. as for your buddy, get him to throw in a vr6 and spercharge that. theres a guy that lives near me with a stage 3 SC'd Vr6 that stomps on everything. theres my .02 sorry for the long reply.
