Default Exactly. =-)

I knew that, but I was impressed with how sure he was! LOL "That's straight out of the bently book"...NO, read again. Duh. Happy Friday to you Carson and Phil as well. Now I may have two supercharged cars. Getting a 30V-V6 B5A4 w/supercharger and going to supercharge the 2002 Jetta 2.slow also. It should be fun.

Default just trade the 2.slow for a Vr6 and then s/c it... WAY more to gain.

Default I've been trying to tell her that.

It's my lady's car. She wants the automatic 2.0 still for some reason. I am the one who is demanding a SC at this point. That car drives me nuts..it looks good though. lol

Default yeah, my gf had the 2.0 auto Cabrio -- that thing was a dog

she recently moved into her amazing VR6 MKIV jetta... that thing is night-and-day difference, and the motor's stock.

Default My sis had the 87 VW Cabriolet(automatic)...

then she goes and buys a 2.0 Cabrio(automatic) just when I thought I would never have to work on another dog again. I talked her into an 01 VW Jetta wagon 1.8T. She was having a kid, so wanted a bigger car. She luckily only had the Cabrio for a little over a year. And then in 2002 my lady kills me by buying a brand new 2002 VW Jetta 2.0 automatic. I really need to talk her into the VR6 02, so she will have that same body style..just a larger engine and manual of course because she says now she wants to learn.
