Golf gti!?
Answers:
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.
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 :)
