    I do like the styling... just such a shame they've increased the price compared to the value for money you could get an 81tsi + premium sports pack + glass roof for previously.

    Hi Guys,

    The 1.8T's are capable of handling up to 400hp on stock internals (at least the MK4 GTI internals were) so long as you've got cooling and fueling up to scratch.

    Don't do it through the main intake pipe, as it will mean you will need to spray past/through the throttle body which is really bad.
