Post 2.8 12v Mods Sites? List?

Ok so I've tried searching the forums for 2.8 12v mods and the search form doesn't seem to work for me.

What I'm looking for is an ECU chip/Programer for the 2.8 12v I've been having a hell of a time finding a manifacturer that has one for the 12v.

I know most chips aren't going to add much power to the 2.8 12v but I would rather have something than nothing.

Has anybody played with the cams? or is it best to leave them alone?

how about intakes? anybody have any sudjestions?

and now for the finnal question... Exhaust... has anybody found any aftermarket Exhaust thats worth purchasing? is there dual exhaust available? if so any that look good.

I know with the exhaust that dual exhaust isnt always the most power gain, but i like the look.

How about sites for body parts? (applies to both 1.8T and 2.8 models) as there has to be some sites out there for body parts. I've been looking and so far all i can find is front bumpers.

Thanks for your time!

there are none. your ecu sucks a nut so no tuning, intake and exhaust wont do anything other than an audible difference. and no one makes one so your going to have to go custom if you still want it. cams will do nothing

as for body kits- www.lltek.com

yeah unfortunately the 12v isn't much of a platform for that kinda stuff. Custom exhaust is probably your best bet, and a K&N panel filter. You can get lame generic intakes for it but they won't do much for power. +1 for chaos, the ecu sucks big ones. If you're looking for stock body panels, i recommend the classifieds here or on another forum, someone's always parting out a car.

If you're really up about mods, sell the 12v and get a 1.8. i've accepted my fate for now, mostly because i can't afford to sell my car at the moment lol. gl!

What they said, and persoanlly I'd get a Magnaflow 1400 series exhaust and have is fab'ed up to your system and it should work well.



welcome to the 12v family

I haven't really ever heard anything from anybody about their stuff.. but i did talk to the owner of the site on AIM. He said nothing really beside the supercharger will make that big of a difference.

biggest scammers of the 12v community ever, if you buy from them you will not get anything, they will only take your money, and when you show up at there storefront, you won't find any store there at all.

Is this a personal experience of yours?
