Water-Cooled Volkswagen Performance Handbook

How can you give your Rabbit more hop? Which engines will fit in a Scirocco? What will a high-performance computer chip do for your Golf? Why does lowering your Jetta improve handling? The answers to these and many more power, handling, and style-enhancing questions are covered in the *Water-Cooled Volkswagen Performance Handbook.* Just as the Beetle of yore could be pumped up to do battle with so-called muscle cars, today's Volkswagen can be injected with enough additional performance to keep it door-to-door with the competition. Greg Raven explains in exhaustive detail the optimum engine, transmission, chassis, and bodywork combinations for making your VW even hotter. Whether your ride is a first-generation Rabbit or the latest five-cylinder A4 Jetta, and no matter where your budget stands, you need this book. Seventeen chapters and appendices combined with nearly 500 photos explain everything from low-dollar bolt-ons to the ultimate, turbocharged, nitrous-burning, VR-6 pavement-pounder, including: * High-performance suspension and brake modifications * Wheel and tire improvements * Custom body styling * Bolt-on engine performance: What to expect, where to find it * Guides to carburetors, fuel injection, turbocharging, supercharging, nitrous, headers, and exhaust systems * Engine swap options You won't want to spend a dollar on upgrades without consulting this book. Without a doubt, *Water-Cooled Volkswagen Performance Handbook* is your first step to achieving the most power, best performance, and driving fun from your "Vee-Dub!"
