200bhp to 330bhp - how hard is it?
« on: July 20, 2014, 12:27:24 pm »
Hi all.

New user and first post.

I've just purchased a 2006 MK5 GTi with 95,000 and DSG box.

How reliable would the car be if I modded it to 330bhp and roughly how much would it cost to do properly?

Also, what's the most BHP anyone has got from the MK5 GTi?

I actually got the GTi as a daily driver, but I'm now thinking of filming a documentary where it's modded and raced against a Ferrari (with over 320bhp) at Santa Pod/Brands Hatch.

Thanks


PS. pick it up next week

Its not just a case of saying a figure as a few factors will have a bearing on that,who is doing the work ? Are you buying the parts brand new or used ? Which tuner is remapping the car ?
A few have big figures on here,reliability would not be a problem providing your car has a clean bill of health.
A DSG box is what you want as you will not need to replace the clutch.

You need to look into a K04 conversion :happy2:

In regards to big power… probably not the highest horse power but watch from 2:20 and you can see what is achievable with enough money…

I thought you were implying that Pikey's 500bhp was so quick that the mats got left behind... :smiley:

To the OP. The easiest and probably the cheapest way to 330bhp from where you are now would be to sell the GTI and buy a GTI Edition 30. It already has the K04 fitted and a stronger engine and simply needs a stage 2+ map, intake, exhaust and high pressure fuel pump.
Reasonably you can expect north of 330bhp.

It wouldn't make much of a documentary though!  :signLOL:

The ammount of power this car has is pointless without 4wd.. A skoda Octavia  that was also at shakespeare raceway at GTI inters could only do 14 seconds down the quarter mile. Whereas a 350bhp ed30 done sub 14's..


Waste of time without 4wd imo
