2.8 Bora 4motion's

i hope the filter is not exposed from underneath. You dont want it to suck up water

I had a very similar set up on my mk4 gti, and never once had an issue with water in the three years I had it.

You'd have to hit a fairly massive puddle to worry about that

or drive into the ocean

Haha yeah i don't intend on doing an insurance job on it just jet. I dont think ill have a problem with the water as its still protected from the wheel and a fair way off the ground still. Ill get back to you if any problems do occur!

I got the following email off a guy today regarding some mods for the bora.



"Hi Nathan – thanks for the email, the best options are to look at what you want to achieve – performance wise – it’s a case of air induction kit and exhaust system and Revo Software upgrade. All of these will give you around 35kW increase in power.


This increase for an normally aspirated engine is huge, I have attached info on Milltek Sport exhausts and a photo of one of our preferred air kits."



Do you think 35KW is a bit of s*#t?

[qsilverza]

I would say so. Tell him to prove it by Dyno. And is it at the fly or wheels

[mikinoz]

was that from eurocardriver?

[nashan]

Yeah i dunno but ill take that into mind! Even if i got 20KW id be happy. And yeah it was Eurocardriver. Does anyone recommend them?

[qsilverza]

Well if you dyno it before you get more work done and than after, I would be ecstatic if you get that gain. Have a look at vwvortex.com for some of the mods done there.

Have any of you guys know anything about the Nuespeed chip?

Its very cheap but looks decent. Any opinions?

Also are the 24V Vr6's exactly the same as the bora 2.8L 4motions?

A chips a chip - I doubt there is little between any of them so it's a personal choice. A motor is only capable of delivering (x) amount of power whilst being able to maintain (y) amount of durability. What one chip may lack, I'm sure it will also make up for it in another area.

Nice Bora btw - I like the CAI setup. Looks the ducks nuts!

Cheers mate! Hopefully looking better in the next few weeks! What about the exhausts form these american websites. Its a lot cheaper than over here from what i can see and most wouldnt be too hard to fit myself i cant imagine? Has anyone bought much from these guys?
