That would be the easiest. Not the cheapest though.

Drop Golf Loon a PM. Probably the cheapest option.

Isnt there a search function. It seems like the same thread pops up every month or so.

Its always the same thing.
cam
Air filter
chip
mk3 duel downpipe exhaust manifold
2L bottom end

will cost you under $1000 if you do it yourself and you will have a fun car.

If you want to take it further you can add:
Full exhaust
38/40 porting on the head
Dynos have shown 145-155hp at the fly....which requires a new clutch.

You can go bigger porting on the head, port matching or whatever its called, go to 2.1L, even bigger cam and stand alone ECU but your still guna be closer to 155hp then you are 200hp. It will work out cheaper to do a vr6 conversion.
