2.0T Power Mod.s

[chuckyl]

Installed the Injen intake now I'm ready for tuning. I'm leaning toward the JB4 but would like some input from other 2.0 owners with power mod.s. I've searched but unfortunately most input is from 3.3 owners. All input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot out there power wise for the 2.0t. Mainly you have the intakes, exhaust, JB4 or Lap3 tuners for the big chunk of it, I have seen a “big bore” throttle body which is an OEM widened from a 60mm to a 65mm but there’s no numbers to show any if much at all difference and it’s very expensive.

in my opinion if you want to mod it, do the intake, exhaust you like the sound of and just kinda go with it from there. There’s a lot on the JB4 and Lap3 so if you wanted to tune that might be the easiest way to go.

My buddy ran 13.7 1/4 in his 2.0 with JB4 and intake. He has since moved to a 3.3, but he still holds the 2.0 1/4 mile record.

Thanks for the input. Do you know what mod.s your buddy had? I'm not looking toward dragging but his mod.s show impressive results.
Thanks

I think you would see more out od the big bore once you tune it and get it to breath more. I bought the downpipe from sharkracing with the 200 race cell and I felt a d heard a difference. Not sure on your opinion with emmissions but you can get the cat delete version for cheaper than the Big bore throttle body and probably have more to feel from it. I have the water pulley upgrade in the box still so when i get that on i can report if anything changes. It mentions a slight increase.
