GT as in petrol?  Only 150bhp vs 200bhp of the GTI; no contest really!!

There is only ONE GTI  :wink:

Fly, they took the wheels off. I would get it remapped but would I need to get a competition clutch fitted?

The twincharged 1.4 GT?
They were 170 BHP weren't they, same power as the more powerful TDIs?

I thought both the GTs with visible exhaust tips were 170 BHP, regardless of petrol or diesel power?
