Even before the MK7 GTD hits the floor running, German tuning company, ABT have already put together a tuning and aerodynamic package for the GTD.
210ps and 430NM of torque... Should be quite a package. No word on price yet.
See here....

........and for the GTI:
Even though it still has to be tested on the road, we know that the ABT Golf VII with its 2.0 TFSI shows a constant 270 hp or 199 kW, up from the serial version’s 220 hp or 162 kW. Currently, ABT Sportsline is working on the second, even more potent stage of expansion, an uprating to as much as 310 hp (228 kW). It goes without saying that soon ABT will also have available a power variant based upon the 230 hp or 169 kW serial version.

Huge torque gains for the GTD, but not much extra HP - was expecting at least an extra 40PS, easily achieved by most of the 170TDI tuners. Perhaps VW have already pushed quite hard to get 185PS from that engine at their conservative margins they stick to for longevity. Could a DSG model cope with the extra torque?

I here what your saying, I'm sure other tuners will offer greater gains. abt tuning on the mk6 GTD only offer 195ps for the 170ps. so 210 for the mk7 sounds about right.
I suspect other tuners will offer 220ps - 230ps with similar torque.
Which ever option you choose its still going to be rapid for a diesel. and still return 50+ mpg.
best of both worlds imo.
