Title: R36 Passat....
Post by: MS1COYS on 20 September 2012, 19:47
Anyone know anything about these bad boys? I'm toying with the idea of one of these when the Gti's run it's course and they've come down to under £10k...

I've heard with a remap alone 360bhp and 320lbft is obtainable, does this sound right?

I'd say its unlikely an N/A car would gain 60bhp from a remap.

Look pretty nice though

Why do you say?

A 20% gain in power on an N/A is not particulary easy or common is it?

I would love one of these. I have always had a soft spot for the passats.   :rolleyes:

To have it in an estate version to, imagine the sleeperness you could get out of it!  :grin:

Good answer trog


You will see 30bhp increase from a standard engine, exhaust, etc.


Do some breathing mods and you will get a little more from it.

I'm another for the estate lover! Looks fantastic. Bet the tax is a killer though.

I'd rather have one from a performance point of view. But would I rather I have a car, whose rear end looks like something that resembles Kryten's face  :smiley:
