5kCSTQ Performance Modifications

[David]

What about a good aftermarket one like a Forge or Baileys? I had a Forge on my 1998 Passat 1.8T that was pushing 1 full bar of boost (UPsolute chip), never had any problem. That and with the Forge and a K&N, you could really hear the turbo spool up followed by a pshhh when you shift...
