I think there's a usable limit to a front wheel drive car, my car's gone off today, REVO are hoping for some decent gains so we'll see what the end of the week brings.

Very true. IMO the MK5 chassis can just about handle it so the MK6 should be more than up to the job of more power through the front.

My Revo dealer (APD Dorset) reckons 260-270 should be achievable but I reckon anything around 250 will suit the GTI down to the ground.

You will NEVER get 260-270 with just a remap on a std GTI.

EDIT - Sorry my bad, forgot we was talking about the MK6.

The stage 1 revo Remapped Scirrocco was pushing out 266.

Well let's see.  I'm not looking for headline figures anyway, anything around 250 will be fine for me.  I'm getting the Select plus switch for a bit of variety too.

thats what I was thinking... but I know that once I get the car then get it remapped a few months later its going to mean changing my insurance to someone else again. So might just do it from new  :evil:
