Hi , i have a gti 2.0 16v its was standard till the other day i have put a full scorpion stainless exhaust on and de-cated it and put a k&n 57i cone filter on wht bhp gain am i looking at on these i know the car should have been around 150bhp before.

thanks Nic

Prob still at 150. But may have increased torque and its curve.

Engines gain bhp as the miles pile on, providing compression is good.

nope its been proven in the best quality older engines and good maintenence (ignore spelling) that all engines will lose BHP over the years.

we did this test at the garage i used to work at and it just didnt hold up i used to belive good compression kept bhp but it just doesnt! even with a clean engine using goof fuels and a regular flush and oil change it still wont ever hold its BHP

An older engine with good compressions will have much less metal to metal friction, hence more power.
If i'm wrong i'd be interested to see some evidence.

if theres a significant amount of friction when the engine has low miles then its just a sh!t engine...

All engines have alot more friction when new.
At what point would an engine start to lose power?
I would say an engine should perform better at 100k than 20k.

In my experience approx 3bhp gain max.
