I Was looking to do some upgrades to my 03 Jetta 1.8T and wasnt sure what is the first things i should do..
First i want to do a BOV but i have heard that they are not for Jetta's is this true and if it isnt what ones would anybody recomend for the car..and should i do short ram intake or full cold air intake where i live we get alot of moisture and i dont want water in the intake manifold i was told to worry about that if i was to go with full cold air intake is that true..
Thank you for taking the time to read this ..Please help if you can Thank you

get a DV instead of a BOV so it recriculates. you should just smooth out the stock air box and a k&n drop in filter or if you want the sound get a CAI. but what are your plans for it? go fast, look good.....i would say get a chip, APR, reVo or gaic.

Welcome.
It's going to take alot of work and money to beat your friends Evo. Most likely won't happen with stock turbo, unless he's a bad, bad driver. Check the "Kills" section of this forum to see what it takes to hang/beat a modded Evo.

it will look like this but black...  will have 2 black hoses clamped to it, if you want to beat an EVO i sugest checking the vortex classifieds or APR-- they have a new stage 3 ++++(whatever) coming out sposed to be 400+.......but then its a new clutch, lsd, suspension.....list goes on.......... |

I've used this page in the past. Very helpful. Under the performance mods section you'll find the DV how to. http://www.izvw.com/ |

this is a good link has alot of info about our engines. you can run a BOV w/ a recirculation kit, i forget who sells them but somebody will know. BOV will (usually) throught a CEL and make your car run worse since the 1.8t was not ment to run a BOV. |

Does it feel like it's going to stall at the stop light? If so, swapping out the stock black top coolant temp sensor for the green top one will solve that. You can get the green top at your dealer, or ECS tuning for like $7-$8. The car should sit for a few hours so the coolant completely cools before swapping the parts.

and dont take the top of the coolant reserivor off when your taking the sensor out or the coolant will runout even faster......done it before. |

nospeed sells a P-flow, short ram with a heat shield. or u can get a 2.5" piece of pipe and a filter and make your own.
