Yes but with those come a whole host of things to compliment one to the next . As its been said, in reality, you would have to do other mods to contain 280+ ponnies.


Its fun, and bloody hard to stop if you have the cash to splash  :smiley:

Yep, I've got all of 'em ED!

To be fair mine doesn't struggle with getting the power down now, but I can imagine say 30BHP more and I'd be struggling with 2nd gear corner exits.
Sideways yo!

i agree with the above. 280bhp is not to be laughed at. that is still a very quick car. enough to fully embarass alot of much more expensive machinery(something i enjoy doing as mines a skoda so it annoys them so much more)

I would not like to run 280bhp on std suspension setup though. I think the absolute first mod should be ARBs.

280bhp in the wet will also need a very progressive right foot or a diff.

I got 249 BHP just off APR remap, and 299lb/ft, on my first GTi. It felt very quick at that.
