is it worth cams/induction kit etc

[tommyhine5]

hi, i know its probley been asked before
but i dont want to spend money on cams, induction kit,exhaust system and remap if there isnt going to be any noticable difference
ive got a 2003 mk 2 vtr, would this make my 0-60 faster and what bhp gains am i looking at?
thanks alot for your help

Wait for a vts/gti gearbox to come up, or even a 1400 xsi box. They go for around £100-150, fit it with a new clutch £50. Much better accelerating vtr without spending the earth

cheers mate, i just dont want to spend alot of money and find there are no noticable gains

[VtsTom]

You will see gains with a decent induction kit, de-cat manifold, exhaust system, cam and remap but its going to cost the best part £1500 if you buy new and dont fit anything your self. Depends what you deam "worth it"?

exactly what i was going to say its all if you deam it "worth it" for instance i have saved quite a lot of money i do all my modifications myself. And most modifications will give a small noticiable difference, all together they add up to a bigger difference.

Also add a ported and polished TB to your exhaust, mani, inndcution etc i consider it to be one of the best breathing mods available fo the money.

I can safely say that with:

induction kit
catback exhaust system
4-2-1 manifold
and a ported and polished TB

you will definetly notice a gain without a doubt.

[tommyhine5]

has anyone got these mods and notice a difference?

[JamesR]

i have just a exhaust system and open indcution kit along with a ported and polished TB and i can definetly say there is a difference.

[tommyhine5]

cheers mate, will prob do the same as you.
just dont want spend alot of money and find out i cant notice a difference in power
