Well my son just moved from his 95 Jetta VR6 to a 2000 Passat. We're planning on lowering it and chipping it in the future. What other mods does anyone suggest for a 2000 Passat with the 1.8t?

Should have pics up tomorrow. he's been on quite a journey. From Portland to Florida then drove to North Carolina then flew to Minnesota to pick up the Passat then Drove back to Portland.

Very nice!!! FIRST 'mod' you guys need to do is not a mod at all! Replace every vacuum line, hose, check valve, breather pipe/T/fitting you can get. Second, open the oil cap. If you see any carbon buildup/sludge/anything of the like in there, you need to do an engine flush. Lastly, we need to verify there are no open recalls on this car. PM me for details....

Stock, they have 150 HP and your particular engine I don't hink has a cam adjuster. So that limits how much HP you can actually get out of it. If you DO have a cam adjuster, you can get even better numbers.

wow, what a journey.

good luck on you and your son's new endeavor.
