I'm thinking about working on mods for mine too.... its just too slow, and not mean sounding enough! Sounds to me so far that the first thing to do is exhaust, intake, and chip.... should the chip come after the exhause system or before?

2.8 isnt a highly moddable engine... if your looking for speed and mods after mods. go with the 1.8 as for my 2.8 im not modding a think on it.. Because well. I just would rather maintain it and keep it running perfectly

Let us know how things turn out... which parts you used, $$$$$, gains, and so on...
some aggressive cams will give you an extra growl and more torque at your power band...

first of all guys... the 2.8 isn't any less moddable than most engines.. it's just that the 1.8T is so overwhelmingly moddable it puts the 2.8 to shame. and yes, exhaust, intake, cams, chip would be my suggestion
