To achieve 400ish on standard gti engine I would need apart from hybrid turbo forged pistons and rods? Is that it for it to be safe and reliable??

I asked the same thing to Luke @ Jabba and he has been running his with no uprated pistons/rods as he tells me they are plenty strong enough for 400bhp, he said if they were to push it nearer 450 he would think about doing them to be safe, but im sure everyone has their own opnions.

His does not run a Diff either, he reckoned for every day use most could not drive the car quick enough to benefit from it, lots of track days your car would benefit from it.

I think you would need a diff too to plant all the power down

mine is running 400bhp with WMI,    The diff is a must, so much easier to put the power down. + makes it far more fun to drive.

Ed30 engine is slightly stronger than the GTi lump.  I wouldn't want to push the standard GTi engine with a hybrid.

Diff is amazing.  Should be the first mod to any car!

I'm just running s3 injectors, stock intank pump and lots of boost and the fueling is spot on.  Rs4 injectors are only around 10% larger than the s3's.

You are mistaken! ed30 has upgraded internals in addition to the k04 turbo.   :smiley:
