Quote from: R32UK on 09 October 2009, 11:08the GT170 will remap to over 200bhp anyway Yes, but wouldn't you rather have a 200 bhp Golf GTD from Volkswagen than from some cowboy outfit, who might not have the knowledge and experience to add the additional bits and bobs required to ensure long-term reliability?

I have got a mk6 GTD and have had it remapped by my local revo dealer it is now far quicker than the mk6 gti even standard from a roling start the gtd was just as quick as the gti until you get to 100+. I work for VW and think that as an all rounder its hard to beat this car especially now its quicker than the mk6 gti probably better residuals and 40+ mpg.
don't use cowboys then, simples! it's probably just a tinkered 170 engine when you break it down anyway.
