Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral PAZ: VW Mk4 Golf GTI Turbo

What can i say best Engine VW ever produced, bucket loads of potential. The 20v T can be tuned up to 530bhp.
Let me know if you need any tuning advice its the same as mine and i have loads of spares!

lol, ok heres one...

Are the 2000 engines drive by wire??

Or on a throttle cable??

I have only just purchased my 2000 1.8 GTI turbo Mk4...



Now i allready have its dump valve..

I`m stuck between lowering it next or an exhaust???

Need help, what you all think??

Also i`m after the ever popular 3" Twin Round exhaust, but i cant find it anywhere, anyone help???

Its a Cable throttle, the later ones went to fly by wire, these are no good for big power due to the delay in the throttle motor.

Whats the engine code, AGU,AEB,AUM... Its stamped by the bottom left of the rocker cover (you may have to take the plastic cover off)on a metal tab sticking out.

As for exhausts Miltex do a twin round tail pipe, think its £329 from the cat or £389 inc sports cat.

I think you should definately lower it, as low as possible and get really wide wheels on a negative camber.

Paz verynice car that mate golfs have such a good history and you seem to have a good moddin head on ya so should be quick and lookin nice will have to work hard to keep your cruisewirral Title though. I would put on zorst on 1st cos its more bhp and from the golfs i have been in they ride well.

Woo great too see ya back into modding cars paz. Looks nice at the moment already but i'm sure you'll have it tons better soon.

Looks sweet mate!

I'd say keep it nice and smooth
