you want to modify your jetta or get a new car?
I suggest you talk to someone over at atpturbo.com, you can get 350hp in that car easy.

Seriously...
Programmed computer/upgraded "superchip"
Hi flow fuel injectors/fuel pump/fuel pressure regulator
Gapless piston rings
Oversized valves
MSD 6A Ignition w/ blaster 2 coil
If 5spd get an ACT2600 clutch
New shocks, strut bars, control arm, springs, bushings, etc (just changing shocks will not make your car handle better; only to a small degree)
Cold-air intake (true cold air, not warm air conical filter)
Underdrive pulleys
Exhaust headers, catalytic converter, exhaust piping, muffler (2 1/2" and hi-flow cat)
Larger throttle body
Tougher motor mounts
Forged pistons for higher compression
High performance camshaft
Engine balancing
Take your pick...
Edit; As far as handling goes, higher performance tires will not only increase handling capability but also acceleration. I suggest Cooper Cobras for their blend of performance/ride comfort/cost. But there are many other brands that are better for either of the reasons.

Complete waste of money.
