you must be tempted with the laughing gas surely jonny.....or maybe a bit of Water/Methanol Injection perhaps.
W/M is on the way along with larger injectors, more boost and some other bits.. Im really interested to see what we can make on the K04 turbo..
Its not going to gain a huge amount of top end power, as that is limited by the flow of the turbo itself but for sure we can raise the mid range up.. Eg, it may make 350hp+ but as low as 4000rpm then 380ish at 7500rpm.. Its not just the peak power that is important, but I suppose that is what grabs the attention! haha..
The next goal will be 500hp, if im going to go big turbo then im going to do it properly first time round.. So rods, pistons, custom turbo kit, custom tune, DSG clutches etc etc etc..
I want to get some big wheels and tyres on the car before then though, the car can cope with the power it has now with no problem what so ever, honestly.. But 500hp will be too much.. So ill go for a 9" rim with 265/35/18 cut slicks.. Another 30mm contact patch should help!
Big plans for this car.. My aim is to have the best all round (ROAD) GTI in the world.. Some of the guys in the states have loads of power but I would put good money on my car being right up there if there was a few corners thrown in
