You want to post this in the Mk3 section - for 1993 - 1999.

The motor you have is usually referred to as the "2-point-slow". It's VW's good old reliable workhorse. Having said that, you can get a bit more power with the usual things - upgraded cam, intake/exhaust, et cetera but it depends on how much you want to spend.

If you're looking for big HP gains and are willing to put some coin into it then replacing the motor with a turbo or VR6 is your best option.
