whats up guys and gals, basically im looking to get a little more grunt out of my 2.0l 8v and i have a few questions (f.y.i i drive a 1998 cupra gti, and she's a modification virgin)
1. i have a noisey tappet and a leaky rocker cover, while im in there id like to cam it, would it need a remap with the cam or would it run ok until i can afford the full shabang, i.e bigger valves/ polish and ported etc etc
2. are there any bigger injectors that would plop straight in?
3. any idea where the best place to get full exhausts systems - manifold to back box (preferably with a cat for m.o.t regs. but il soon be trained as a vosa tester so not too inportant!
4. any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! i know someone may say just swap the engine out, but i dont really want to do that because i like the 8v engine! i like how simple the bay looks, just want more grunt from the old girl. (she's done less than 80k!)
