Why didn't they just chip it?

[Fluffy]

with tuning companies like REVO, BSR, GIAC and the rest, you can easily get 240bhp from the 200bhp TFSI engine found in the golf GTI, without the need to even change the exhaust system at all.

 

but why when SEAT introduced the 240bhp Leon Cupra they they have to do all this?

 

The new 240 PS 2.0-litre T FSI engine has been considerably uprated compared with the Leon FR

so that they can justify charging more for all the 'chim' work they have done ....

[Try_conti]

just chipping doesn't sound too complicated & innovative mah ....

strenghtening of con rods,engine blocked are crucial for high horsepower output.

In Germany, I had the chance to take a look at and drive a GTi which produce 350 PS with the stock engine but with a Chip-up, Exhaust mod, CAI with custom map from GIAC. The catch here is that they used 100 RON fuel.

 

So here's the official statement I got from VW for the GTi Mk5;

GIAC is a US tuning company, u saw that in Germany?

But seriously i doubt 350hp (PS is Japan standard) without turbo upgrade quite impossible.

Yes they have GIAC as well even though it's marketed aggressively from USA. Besides the Lim guy is involved in the tunning there are many German tuners put-in work for the GIAC. These guys are mainly from VW, Porsche, Audi and BMW.

Thanks a lot bro as I didn't have the time translate and just did C&P.

 

For all to read, I found 2 good Englishd articles on the R-GTI. Take a look guys

Hmmm what can I say?

 

I still would say, let's wait till I get "whatever" to my hand first.

 

But I'd say you're VERY close.

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers!

the turbo has been upgraded to produce this kinda power.

still impressive for a 2 litre block.

[Kevinlapon]

Yep true but the fact to take back is that the stock block can still take this power

 

In general, I'd say all VAG platforms are similar. The 1.8T / MT block in Golf Mk4 or Skoda Octavia, Seat, Audi, etc are built in such a manner the stock block can take quite a lot of power.

Amen to that.
