Thats true although it must of had an effect because look what they did to the mk5 more power as standard so maybe they did learn from the mk4  :undecided:

That and all the other manufacturers were leaving them for dust in terms of power

More of a case if it wasn't broke why fix it though I was surprised it didn't get the ED30 engine as standard  :undecided: but then the new engine is greener and can run on 95 RON as standard  :nerd:

Yeah it seems to be getting good power from mods as well, also it would put it too close to the Golf R which has the ED30 engine (well S3 engine but not much difference)

Tuning companies would hardly exist if the manufacturers maxed out the engines from the factory.  You then also got reliability and cost to consider in terms of warranty
