chip, bigger intercooler, intake, exhaust sounds good.

why stop there? Go for one of the turbo upgrades ./...they are very worth it.

Enjoy the car men. These enignes are great. I have an Audi A4 with a GT25 turbo...I love it. Thanks god I bought my car when I did before they switched to cast pistons

As for the Jetta=gay thing, I have actually heard that VW was aiming their marketing at the gay communinty. BUt I wouldn't go as far as to equate VW and gay.

you chill out...

I had a 1.8T GIAC chipped with an intake and upgraded BOV + konis/newspeed springs. I used to run away from from BMW M-coupes and E36 M3's on a regular basis. 1.8T is probably one of the best engines out there but all that turbo spool up and hissing of the BOV gets to be a pain in the ass. Fast but not on the level of the Type-S.

A co-worker of mine had a Jetta the same time I had mine - his was stock and he was openly gay and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that dude he was a great guy, hard worker & friend of mine. His lifestyle was his business not mine to judge.

The reason this tread is so damn long is that sometimes ignorant people like to make judge and make comments about other people and then try to say "chill out" or "get over it" or justify their display of ignorance which is an impossible thing to do. Ig'rant is i'grant.

Grow up people - why stereotype and label. I could care less that gay men drive Jettas the shit was quick and handled like a slot car......that's the real issue. I think think that guy should be thrown off the board

...just my 2 cents.

Who cares about your 2 cents?!? He simply stated the VW Jetta is the car most driven by homosexual men. So what he used the word "fag" or "gay"? This is a free, public forum. He isn't making shit up he is simply stating a fact! Lets face it the VW makes great cars and you can mod the shit out of them! Stereotypes are a fact of life get over it.

And to say that someone should be kicked off the board or banned is completly faulty logic. Seriously 123456Speed overreacted for whatever reason (whether is is a homosexual or whether he doesn't like the word "fag" or both.)

It is pretty stupid also to equate the lifestyle of a person with the race of a person. You have a choice to be gay or not. When you pop out of your mom at birth you do NOT have a choice as to what race or color you are. Lets face it stereotypes are all over. 90% of us could give a fuck about them though. I drive a TL and some friends have a stereotype that "its an old mans car"... Do I give a shit though? Hell no! I could give a shit if everyone in the world thought "the TL mostly driven by homosexuals"
Stereotypes are everywhere don't let them get to you IF they do get to you than you just conformed to what people think and you are weak willed.

I never related the Jetta to "fags"

I think it is more commonly know as a chick car. Like stated before, lots of hot chicks drive Jettas.

Why are these kinds of hateful posts allowed on a public forum? Do you allow racist remarks and slurs too? It's too bad car enthisiasts here can not discuss cars without being subjected to hate, ignorance, and bigotry toward any group.

AC_MoBBER or whatever you are...3 points

1. You say who cares about my 2 cents - obviously you do from the length of your post


2. You say "Lets face it stereotypes are all over. " and then 4 lines later you say "Stereotypes are everywhere don't let them get to you"

3. Enough said.

Free speech is easy.... making sense, .... that's a little harder.

I said who cares about your 2 cents because your post was very subjective- not objective look it up.

2. You say "Lets face it stereotypes are all over. " and then 4 lines later you say "Stereotypes are everywhere don't let them get to you"
Stereotypes are everywhere don't let them get to you IF they do get to you than you just conformed to what people THINK and you are weak willed.

What don't you understand?? Their all around us - YOU DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN OR BELIEVE IN THEM!

3. Enough said.
What is this supposed to mean? You think you proved some kind of point or put put some intelligence in your post? Cause you didn't.

Whos the one making sense now?? It isn't you!:ghey: :whocares:

So if its really a fact, please show us any goverment test that shows that the Jetta is driven by mostly gay guys.

If you can not, then you need to shut up. It's been a rumor on the net for a long time, and its a stupid rumor.

There was this discussion about switching pistons but there is no evidence they actually did. So far the Newer 1.8ts are just as strong.

I have only the info posted on Audiworld about whether or not the newer 1.8T have cast or forged pistons. Since APR and PES (and others) are making big turbo kits for the newer 1.8T's, then I would assume they are strong enough to withstand that kind of stress. Hopefully Audi VW will go the 2.9T route pretty soon and lower the compression to a more boost friendly 8.5:1. I have a few friends with 2.0 conversions...very nice. I know some who have added cams and stroked their car (with APR stage 3)to 2.0 liters and got 50-60 more hp with the standard APR stage 3 software.

It is also rumored that typically only homosexual men like Liza Minnelli. It seems the general public doesn't disagree with this claim even though there has not been a study done proving the idea. Some things you just accept as part of life...

:P

This comment on that site is down right stupid..

http://cartalk.cars.com/About/Guy-Ch...sts/chick.html

"Anything by Volkswagen is a chick car. VW realized this years ago and joined forces with another company to sell guy cars--they called that company Porsche."

Now I really take those rating with a grain of salt.
