My Mk5 DSG stage 3 delivered the power in a completely different way it seemed to feel that it had more kick but i think thats because the DSG drops it a few gears and throws you back, whilst driving this MK6 i was comparing the speed gains... this car was verocious in how quick it got to 150mph, I do believe the Mk6 is even quicker.
APR have also built APR Stage III - Supercopa Killer - GTI Racecar build watch the video ... watch the mph needle and how quick this baby gets there even more so check the 50 to 100mph

APR say thats a $38,000 engine apparently?? Would love to know where they come up with there pricing structure!? Thats a similiar price to some full spec GT2 engines..
And, 430whp from a little over 20psi on a GT2871R.. Hmm...
There is a drastically different approach when building an engine for endurance racing that will last an entire season at those power levels. Yes, its expensive, not $38k, but more than most are willing to spend. Our GTI race cars are no where near the Supercopa Killer power levels but are over $20k to build. Endurance Racing is just a different animal than a street car and lot's more internal parts are upgraded than you would apply to a streetcar application.
Headwork alone is $5k just for the cnc work.
This engine spools up 600 rpm's sooner than our standard FSI Stage 3, uses the same turbo and makes 430whp! Not bhp.
Yes, with lower compression, headwork, cams, more fuel and different calibration, its very, very possible and we have done so quite nicely. Its not always about turbo size. Going to a bigger turbo to get more power is an easy way of doing it but moves the power band to a late performer and is acceptable for drag racing but a road course client would never, ever enjoy the late power hit of a turbo bigger than a 28 frame on the 2.0T FSI. Efficiency is the key. We made the right internal engine mods to increase the efficiency of how the engine the makes power with the same turbo. Boost is up 4 psi over our production FSI Stage 3.
