My V6 4mo was alot faster than a GTI (in standard form). There are some
guys on the uk-mkiv forum with some seriously modified GTi's (and diesels
come to that)
A mod some of the guys were doing was smoothing the standard airbox. Some
people said it improved things. Also fiited a CAI so the air was being
taken from down low in the engine bay where the temps were cooler (although
with the recent floods this is probably not a wise idea)

Have a go at the smoothing, it's a free modification.

You've added 5 bhp there, 170 bhp for the 20v and 150 bhp for the earlier 10
valve models.

If it's only more induction noise you're looking for just cut or drill some
holes out of the bottom half of the airbox. The bigger the holes the noisier
it will become.
