So far I have had 2 guesses of power outputs :

Once they both realised that the Turbo and Engine internals were the same as the new S3 they quoted 300Bhp plus

Standard GTi Turbo / Engine - 250 - 265Bhp

They alos stated that a panel filter / Exhaust wouldnt provide much extra and to also stay away from decatting.

Who??

The panel filter I'd try and stick with the OEM, as half the time, these aftermarket filters let too much crap through, turning the insides of your motor into a nice "grinding machine". 

Exhaust and / or decat or sports cat, now that's a different matter.  With standard everything else, a cat-back shold give about 8-10Ps increase alone.  However, if you go the bigger turbo route, then a Milltek or Oettinger system should be a must!

Will be sticking with the standard S3 turbo me thinks and thanks for the heads up on the Panel Filter.

Who was it who gave you those figures you posted in #10?

AMD quoted 250Bhp (not sure if they realised it was an ED30)

RICA Quoted 265Bhp then said 300 Plus when the knew it was ED30

Ahh - OK.  Not that I would recommend AMD chips/tuning, because AMD are American, and in the US/CDN markets, the "S" of the FSI is not enabled, due to their crap (too much sulphur) petrol.  In Europe, we have to have ultra low sulphur unleaded petrol, and the "S" or stratified (homogenous) part of the fuel injection needs this.  This is the part of the FSI which provides the increased fuel economy on part-throttle operation.  Because that part is not enabled in the US/CDN fuel maps, how can AMD adjust our European "FSI" maps!?!?

Never heard of them.

Oh, well they are gonna know all about the FSI maps - not!  They are Volvo specialists, and the FSI maps were particularly difficult to crack, even by the dedicated VAG tuners!

Hmmm . . . I'd be tempted to stick with someone like REVO or Oettinger, for their re-maps anyway.
