jbs's octavia 1.8T on nitrous was hitting 600+ although i think that was overbored to 1.9

the 900bhp dahlback golf isn't a 1.8T though.. it's based around a 5cyl audi quattro motor

who the hell would want 355bhp in a fwd golf gti or any fwd car for that matter!!! :rolleyes:, wheel spinning everywhere and trying to steer and put that sort of power down at the same time mmmmmmm dont think so!! the most id want is 250bhp-275bhp absolute max.......that'll make a superb drivers car with sorted suspension and brakes will make a cracking all rounder  :cool:

I think I would have to agree as well.  I learnt a while back that anything more than about 250bhp from a FWD car is asking for trouble.

300hp would be enough for me in the golf considering its lardy, my bro had a 250bhp td05 starlet turbo, considering it weighs in under 1100kg it was way too much power, talk about torque steer
