corradophil 3 Posted January 11, 2004 I have a 2.0 16V 93K with 136,000 miles on the clock. Nearly every 16V Golf I've been in has felt flat and lacking in torque, compared to for instance my previous car, a Mk2 GTI 8V, but I had to have a Corrado and my funds would only stretch to a 16V. I'd really like some more grunt, but don't really want to start looking for another Corrado G60 or VR6. So far it's spec is; drilled air box, Magnex cat back exhaust and inlet cam from 1.8 16V Mk2 Golf, the cam being the last mod which made it feel a little more lively. I've considered having it chipped and seen elsewhere on the forum details of about chips available giving an extra 10BHP. Has anyone tried this spec? Any good? Any other ideas for more power, obviously gas flowed & ported head, manifold etc would help, but at the moment I would rather not start stripping the engine. Oh yes had it checked out for fault codes, and the only fault was sporradic reading from the Lambda sensor, which eventually I replaced at MOT when I found it had a cat bypass pipe, so I fitted a cat and new Lambda. Interestingly the performance does not suffer for having the cat fitted, I tried with and without the cat, both with new Lambda. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted January 12, 2004 No really clever ideas but you could start by drilling the airbox? instructions on vwvortex EEEK - there's 2 Phil's with 2L 16valvers... CRAZY! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
