I've got a 90 GTi manual goes ok but is no ball O fire, probably the most cost effective mod is to put a bigger engine from a later model.
links to look at;

vwvortex.com/8V forum
www.clubgti.com off line at the moment but should be back on soooon!
yeah and put a manual in it that would have to be the first up grade, get in touch with Brian @ GTI imports in Sydney or Matt (golfloon) on the Aust watercooled forum for gboxes and motor upgrades!
enjoy.

Look for a european spec motor aussie mk2 gti's were a joke (tame cams etc)
automotaic gti's are even funnier
easily fixed by trading in
some bloke had a nice red 3 door with ats wheels and factory sunroof at the nationals for $6000 I kind of wish that I got his phone number

BTW, my mods have yielded 101bhp at the wheels, and does a 7.5 sec 100 sprint. It cost a bit, though. The 2.0 8V mod is cheaper, and the 5 speed is the go too.

Autos are slugs. Its not a hard conversion, I`ve done a few and have the bits to do a few more! The car is great fun to drive as a manual, but the aussie ones are downtuned and have 20hp less than the UK ones. Get an import engine, or slap in a 16v.
