220 BHP (with a 223 BHP as top) are measured standard MK VI GTI's on the JD Engineering Roller Banks...40-45 BHP as a remap is a reality so the most you can get out of it is say 270 BHP.....if you are lucky......if less lucky 260 is the average...not to be sneezed at....  :wink:

I would think that if you get a genuine 260 BHP from an otherwise standard Mk6 GTI and a generic re-map you are doing very well...
Anything more - without further modifications - is just dreaming and optimistic dynos.

250+ BHP with decent peak torque and a good torque spread, makes for a quick car that feels like it's got more...

I can only quote the measurements I have no insight how the measurement-machines are calibrated.. :wink:

I do agree that 250 BHP should be giving you actually all you want.

They said I was close to 270 but I just drove the thing and it was fast enough, I do not bother to check it independantly for 100 euro's and come to the conclusion that I may have a very fast 250..... :laugh:

That is 40-45 with an easy DOB....unless you are a freak (positive) and want to go all the way I reckon another extra 40-50 BHP on top of that is far more apealing than discussing a 10 BHP difference....for them there is a stage 2 and 3 and 4 and.......450 BHP is the most they can get out of it...... after that the poor car is breaking down.. :evil:....

Mind you a fuel difference oct 98 instead of oct 95 can give you the 10 BHP (again measured)...
