Thanks Colesey, useful to know. Agreed, that it would be pushing the limit on a K03 engine, sounds like a good upgrade instead of the K04.
I've seen their website but no prices listed, do you know what's the best way to contact them?

I want to stay in the 310-330 h.p. /306 torque range. With the FWD, it just feels more usable in every condition. Have ridden in a
Few high powered GTIs and seems there’s a lot of h.p. That goes unused because of the understeer and wheel hop/ spin. Not trying to blow away other cars, just want a fun w/e tracker and autox’er.

Cheers for the response, more power is always better but like you say, as a daily driven car it would be nice to have more useable power instead of just shredding the tyres! In fairness I haven't experience a high power mk5 GTI so not don't have anything to compare to.

I find that with my weight reduction ( Volk rims, Alcon brakes, braille battery , Corbeau seats, rear seat delete, c/f hood, YCW coilovers, spare tire delete and passat LCAs, ) the 320 hp feels more like 400 hp. Acceleration and braking is vastly improved. I tip the scales at 2834lbs , which equates to about 20 hp added. So all in all, I think I am performing in the Caymen GTS range.
