Performance wise, I had a 3" tb exhaust, n75, DV, cold air intake, and APR chip. The 220 dyno and the track times were on 100 octane race fuel. Your buddy should be able to get high 13's with good tires, and the bolt ons I listed above. You can see all my mods at http://bolsen.homeip.net

As for 240 whp? No way, not on the stock turbo. At the crank, sure... but on 93 octane 240 is near impossibe. Most people with the mods I listed on 93 octane are praying for 200 whp.



I got the evo for 28,500.

And for the record, I only had probs with the coil packs, which are covered under warranty. Same with window regs, they are covered too

 

God I love that car. Congrats man.

 

Congrats! My last daily-driver was a 01' Blue Lagoon Jetta 1.8T GLS with bolt-on's(206 whp) and was a very good car, never any problems. I sold it to buy a 337 GTi, which the dealer screwed me out of it, only one was sent to the dealer locally for me to purchase. So I drove my GMC Typhoon for a year in half waiting on the Golf R32 to get it its porky *** over here to NA. Happen to test drive a 03' EVo one day and that is all she wrote. Now I own a 03' Weight-Less White Evolution and I drive it everyday like I stole it.

 

Hey bro, I've seen you on the tex.

Hows the GMC treatin yah?

 

It is babied now , the Typhoon is a garage queen until I get it repainted and some more boooost!

 

bolsen.........You will undoubtedly see me rolling around Milwaukee in my Apex Silver as well...Welcome to the club.

You should join the Evo Club

Lots of fun and LOTS OF Evo's...

Hope to see you in the streets and congrats!!

 

Color same as mine, good choice welcome aboard.

1BADSUV: sweet truck, i love how they look where did you buy it from and for how much they run for? nowdays i know its pain in the *** to find them.

 

Nice. I'm trading in my jetta for an evo as well, bolsen. Except my jetta is alot sh*tier than yours.

 

Good trade!

I have the same Evo as you. Only mine will be staying stock for a while.

 

You can find them from 10k to 30k depending on condition, mine was about 17k when I purchased it in 2001 with 76k on the truck and it was already modified. They were only produced in 92'/93' so that is a very short production run. Check out www.SyTy.net in the For Sale section if interested in picking up a very quick SUV.

 

To think, I almost became a hairdresser by almost buying a 2.0L Jetta now!

 

I don't think I understand the hair dresser joke

 

 

Wow, my Jetta looked just like yours!

I had a 2001 black 1.8T Jetta with tons of bolt-ons too!
My mods were:
3" turboback, intake, DV, LSD, chip, race N75, suspension, 17x9 wheels/tires, stg 3 clutch, 6lb flywheel, pullies.....etc

Sold that car about 3 months ago to buy my Blue Evo for $24k on Ebay.

I LOVED my Jetta, but the Evo was a huge step up in performance. I do kinda miss the nice interior,ride and stealth of my Jetta tho.

 

nice intercooler!
