Yup mate, its nice to blow off todays GTIs with a ten year old bucket...
My engine had complete rebuild and after that bit of a headwork by rally specialist, forged pistons, fast road cams, chip, supersprint manifold and cat-back. And got dyno tested 186hp/220Nm (calculate Lbs yourself
) BUT restrictive parts in my combination is chip and a manifold. Mate of mine has programmable chip, standard valver manifold in F7R ,headwork and pistons and STANDARD WILLY CAMS. And he got 180 hp with his combination... So i think the biggest restrictive thing is my chip. It is just "plug and play" Elia, and my mate has programmable Unichip. So thats the one i should invest to get the power off from my cams. (well if my engine will ever be back together
)
