I have an '85 Scirocco, I love the car, but there are some things to be 
desired. It handles good, but it could be better, and I think I can fix 
that. As far as power goes, I want more. I'm trying to figure out the 
best way to do it. The kind of performance I'm looking for is midrange 
pickup. Imagine driving down a two lane highway with two way traffic. 
Some farmer has fired up the old Chevy. He has his wife along, and there 
they are doing 45 in a 55 zone. It doesn't bother this guy that he has 
about fifteen cars trailing him, he isn't going to speed up. The window 
for passing is narrow, because of oncoming traffic. If your going to do 
it, you better not fool around. That's where I want the power. Any ideas 
for mods to acheive this would be greatly appreciated. I have many of my 
own, but I've never really done anything like this to a Scirocco, only 
an old Charger and Camaro, and that is an inelegant way to do it.
