I have got '96 GTi 8v, I'd like to give it more poke! Does anyone can recommend me a good upgrade cam for 2.0 8v? My car have pipe cross induction kit, de-boxed, Magnaflow backend. Would an upgraded mainfold worth the money or nah?
If anyone knows any other engine performance suggestion, pls do share!

Sorry for the delay. Unfortunately mate there is noway of making this car any quicker. Sure the cam will make a difference, it'll be quicker off the mark, but that is possibly all depending on how lairy it is.

Found a link to what some guy did to his 8v http://www.clubgti.com/forum/showthread.php?t=196783

Be better if you could source a 16v and cam change that, along with performance panel filter and exhaust should make close to VR performance.

8v to 16v conversion http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2631789

agree with bazza - the only way u will get any serious power from this engine is probably a turbo converiosn or throttle body conversion
but the money u will spend doping that u may as well do an engine swap!

althou with the right tweeks (which will cost a fortune!!!) u can get up 2 150bhp out of these lumps
