yeah if you get 9:1 pistons without boost, you will loose a lot of power. I'm wondering how much we can up the boost with just pistons alone. I'm guessing around 11-13 psi since we can only go 7-8 psi with stock internals?

my goal is to make the car around 180hp because my friend has a 02 1.8t gti and that thing pulls you to the seat pretty good and its fast. id like to be close to that. i want to feel a good pull when i punch the car. the 02 gti has 180 hp crank maybe 165 to the wheels so i basicaly whant to achieve that. so what i actualy need is 25-30 whp. so is that achievable without going turbo? and do you thing that rrm v2 sri + rrm axelback + works chip + headers will make that 25-30whp?

I wouldnt really call a gti fast, i have many friends with chipped gtis and jettas, I used to own a turbo jetta... when chipped they usually average around 200 bhp... or so, somewhere in the high 14 sec range in the quarter mile when chipped and mid to high 15's when stock... and i dont really think that is "fast" ... still very fun to drive with that power, but thats not even close to fast
