1994 Volkswagen Jetta III GL from North America - Comments

Check engine light comes on every now and then, but I believe it is due to excess exhaust coming out of the 6 inch Neuspeed Catback exhaust.

When I got this car it was in immaculate shape and it still is. I have put several modifications on it including a Neuspeed P-Chip, Neuspeed p-flow air intake, Neuspeed front end strut, complete Neuspeed stainless steel cat back exhaust, and a wicked premium sound system including a 4 channel 400 watt clarion amp.

This car has 115 stock hp, I have it now around 210-215 and it has unbelievable performance. Enough with the everyday Civic EX and Si, try something new, this car is great and I love it every minute. I STRONGLY reccomend this car. Great first car.

While I agree that the Golf/Jetta III 2.0L is a good car, I take great issue to your reported horsepower claims. In stock trim, your car makes 115HP. The addition of the Neuspeed exhaust, chip, and intake will give you nowhere near an extra 100HP. Maybe your modifications plus a low-boost turbo would equal 210-215HP (at the wheels). I have a 1998 GTI 2.0L Driver's Edition with a Techtonics 2.25" stainless cat-back exhaust, Eurosport Cool-Flo intake, ABD chip, Techtonics 266º cam, heavy duty valvesprings with titanium retainers, and a Kent adjustable cam gear and I am making nowhere near your reported horsepower. At best I am making 145HP at the wheels. With your mods, you are probably making around 125 to 130HP at the wheels - maximum. Just because the parts manufacturers would like you to believe that each mod adds 15HP, it does not mean that it is true! Real world proof of aftermarket parts horsepower gains are in the dyno testing - keep that in mind...

Well I just got a 1994 jetta GL 2.0 I know is a great car, but

i feel like it needs a little more boost! I got the wheels and the rims alredy and some Exterior desing no big deal, but it makes it looks good, but when it come to speed I feel I lack of boost any recommendation for it?

Like the exhaust was one of the first thing I did, but now I would like to invest into the engine, intake etc.

Please help me.

You added an intake, chip, and exhaust and you honestly think anb believe that your little jetta gained 100 horsepower? I have the same car with the same modifications (different brand) as well as a cam, and that adds about 35-40 horsepower at best.
