hey nice car... i sold my MkV last year in favor of my evo! The MkV is a great dd but i found the aftermarket support to be way too expensive (ie a grand for apr's fuel pump and 6 grand for their stage 3 kit). Evo's aint cheap until u compare them to Euro cars. Anyway, love the way you did that GTI.

^ GTI stuff is stupid expensive. The one good thing are the reflashes. $500 for 60hp is a good deal

Nice VW bro. I love the turbo VWs. Their fun as hell. A few of my buddies have older Golfs and even Rabbits that have 1.8Ts swapped into them on hi-boost. Best sleeper out there IMO.

I have been saying all along, people just like to see dynos numbers, 1/4 mile times etc, but some cars make their way to the top by other means.

Look at previous comparos, the GTI made it in the top 3 over and over.

Take care!

...really? Torque is all any dyno will read. HP is then calculated from a formula.

HP = RPM X Torque divided by 5252

So to your figure Torque take HP x 5252 divided by RPM
