It's all about making the engine breathe better.

Basic, depends on your vehicle setup, you'll have to shop for these upgrades, if they have them for your engine type, make, and model car. Otherwise, you'll have to custom make things like a cold air intake, or have custom made headers.

Cold Air Intake
Headers (High Flow Exhaust Manifolds)
High Flow Performance Exhaust (Custom from downpipe back)
Performance Chip (Upgrade computer)

Lightweight Rockers (Not for beginners)
Mild Cam (Not for beginners)

I'm dead against using NOS, especially just starting out and definitely not in a stock engine. It's dangerous, mostly illegal and a cheap way to make momentary horsepower.

Get better tires for your launches! That's if you're spinning of the line.
tighten up the suspension, minimize the weight transfer

otherwise use that above list to gain horsepower and torque.

Im with JSD
listen to em, knows his stuff for sure.
Intake and exhaust are the easiest upgrades starting out.
There are a few chips for the car, varying in HP gains,
the best deal i could find would put the 1.8T to 222 for about 450 bucks.
I cant remember the company but look around,
according to what ive heard talking to people that know more than myself, APR is the best exhaust you can buy for this car, but its pretty pricey, lookin at 1000 bucks for a turbo back.
also a boost controller could be a good addition as long as youre careful
suspension and tires for launch like he said, and just practice by yourself sometimes. no harm in practicing, i lost a race i should have won when i first got my car because of a bad launch. spun all the way through first and couldnt grab at all, but now i know the clutch and can launch ten times better.
Do some research on it and find the options you want. If it werent for a warranty and college loans to pay off id be at about 300 horses by now, because of all the crap ive found just lookin around. this car is ridiculously customizable, and so many companies make soo many parts for it.
thats all i got

how do i make it faster?
 

i just had an aem intake installed but my check engine light came on... why is that if i didnt remove any sensors?

thanks

I was wondering if you had any idea on how I can make my 04 Gti 1.8 turbo faster I have already made modifications to increase performance such as, cool air intake, A custom mapping so the turbo is putting out 17 psi, new exhaust system with waste gate, new stiff suspension, lighter and wider rims rapped in khumos. It is lowered and settled at about 2 1/2 in the front and 2 in back. I made a few esthetic changes like the grill, lights and window tint. It weighs about 1800 pounds and has a little over 200 HP at the moment. Any Ideas?

Need guidence on a lease trade for my VW please help?
ok i have 2007 VW Golf (rabbit) i leased it for a 4 year contract!

i have had the car for 7 months now!

i really want the 2007 VW GTI, is there a way i can trade in the Golf for the 2007 GTi or a used 2006 GTI, i mean i know i can but can anyone guess how much it will cost me?
please help me, i have spend to much money on the Golf to make it as fast as a GTI but it will save me alot more money to just get the GTI becuase it already has everything i need!

i dont need any options just a plain GTI 2006 or 2007!

do you think its possible to tradethe Golf in and continue my Lease on the GTI?

What mods do i need to make my 01 gti 1.8t to have it run at least 14sec in 1/4 mile?
i just want to get it a little more faster and so i can keep up with my brother camaro z28, please help!

You can run low 14s easily with an ECU reflash and some decent tires. Back in 2003, My 02 GTI with a chip, 2.5" exhaust and Falken Azenis Sports ran a 14.1 @ 99 MPH. A few individuals have run 12 second quarter miles in stock turbo 1.8Ts.

Thanks for sharing such a vital information, actually I am looking for information regarding. Now this thread definitely help me a lot.
