This is my 2002 jetta 1.8t(stock 180hp)
Horsepower goal 300 (anything more and the car will have poor drive ability )

It sits on 18 inch ASA JS5's with Kuhmo Rubber, 225/40/18. Some people clown kuhmo but these babies grip. APR drop springs to come in about a month. ($239)

Heres a close up the rim. Stock brakes for now but I plan to get drilled rotors and new calipers from Stoptech, at some point and time($1000-$2000)

Heres a front view, I am in the middle of building a forced air induction system but this is what the inlet looks like. I building a steel heat sheild that houses the intake filter and an electric turbo goes into the side. A 3 inch hose leads down to the bumper letting massive air in while going down the road. I'll post new pics when I get it finished. I hope to put a front monted intercooler with nx express nitrous system through the intercooler.($1500)

Heres a close up of the inlet, I did all the grill work myself. Tell me what you think.

Heres the losers eye view. I just got these carbon fiber altezzas and I think they look tight. Give me some feedback on what you think. The wing is from Landspeed USA, loks good but not to extreme. Body kit and Techtonics complete exhaust system (18hp,$700) in the near future.

The balls under the hood! 20 valvle 1.8 liter K03 turbocharged four cylinder. Chrome engine stress bar.(Plan to uprgrade turbo to a K04 ($1000)) I built the intake myself for about $60 (K&N) I said the hell with spending $200 + on a name brand intake and built my own. When I finish with the forced air induction I expect a 15-20 hp gain. I'll post the dyno results as soon as I finish the project. APR performance chip on the way as well, good for 32hp!($)495

I installed a leather shift boot over my stock tiptronic assembly because the chrome got scracth up.I had to build a special adapter to make it work, now the shift knob has to be pulled up to be moved.

I have stock gauges for now, but I want to put white faced guages in later ($100). I'd never get rid of the blue back lighting though, it looks bad-ass at night.

My Audio Set-up

I have a Pioneer head unit, a Kicker 400 watt amp running an Infinty Perfect 12, and 4 polk audio midrange speakers. It isn't much but all I want is to be able to hear the bumps goin 70 mph, with the windows down

Close up of amp and 1400 watt power inverter, I can run almost any thing off this thing; tv,computer,playstation, power tools. hell I can even run a microwave if I wanted to.

My doors run Polk Audi speakers. I painted the grills silver to match the dash kit.

Nice car. V-dub in da haus. Just don't ruin it. I'm still kinda iffy about those rims. I'm not a fan. But to each his own. Best bet to get the most power is (if you really are trying to get to 300HP) Chip it, bigger turbo, intake, turbo back exhaust. But don't forget about the suspension! You need to redo the brakes and sway bars and all that too. It's a lot of money!

Ya I like your car...but you know....YOUR NOT GONNA GET 20HP OUT OF A FUCKIN HOMEMADE INTAKE. If you thought you were then wow...and the car will have poor drive ability if you dont do the supporting mods to put the power to the ground. Learn something about cars before you make a fucking website.

Very nice ride man. I like the work done to it. I was just wondering since you have a pretty sweet ride if you would want to add to the sweetness. I am selling my entire custom trunk setup. Its an all fiberglass box, 2 12" subs, amp (refinished, and lighting under shrowd), and the cap. Let me know if you are interested. I am selling it all for $2500 canadian. it is still brand new. I just want something different. Let me know drsrude@hotmail.com Later
