    Hi guys,

    I have a 1.8 8v engine pb i gess, and i want take a few extra hp.
    I'm thinking about giving a touch on the head, get a 4-2-1 headers, exhaust line with direct oem Mufler, make a remap, iridium spark plugs, FPR.
    Is there a more aggressive cam off another vw that is plug and play in this engine?
    What can i make more?

    Thanks! ;)

    i would get the head and exhaust done then just get a lumpier cam in it, will get you somehting like 25-30 more bhp, then getting the mapping or whatever done on it.

    I do a little research and i found a 8v engine with a nice cams.

    1.8 8v gx/ht 90hp
    Duration (in./ex.) 223/220
    Lift (in. /ex.) 10.08/10.80

    Will be plug and play on my engine?

    Thanks again for the help. ;)
