Like I said in another thread, my stage 1 ED30 doesn't feel too much off the pace of my 997 C2S, once rolling, if there is at all anything in it. The DSG will help the Golf as well. But let's be fair, it's not a Porsche. When driving most of the tuned cars that I've owned, I've always felt I've got something's prove, when I'm in the Porsche, I have nothing to prove - if that makes sense. However when I do get in the mood, my god, the Porsche is awesome, in every respect. The flat six noise through the sports exhaust helps, as well as the awesome grip!
