Estimated BHP on my MK3 GTI?

[ChrisJones]

Hi all, I own a MK3 GTI 2.0 16V 150bhp model, its got a cat back stainless steel system and a K&N air panel filter in the air box.
What sort of BHP do you all think that I am running?
Cheers

I'd say 150.1bhp

[Jack3559]

Probably about 150-155bp depending on service history.

145bhp to 155bhp 

[VR6_Wherry]

145bhp to 155bhp 

This.

All depends on how well the car has been looked after though.

We can't give you an answer, you'll have to take it on a RR (dyno)

An accurate RR though! Depending on the RR you go to you could see anywhere between 145bhp - 160bhp

I made 162hp & 145lbs/ft of torque during a clubgti meet at Garage streamline in London a few weeks ago - it's known as being quite a tough/accurate dyno - it made this with cat back Jetex exhaust, Airbox mods, Pipercross filter and aftermarket chip.

So I would say around 155hp would be a very good guess - de-cat has been reported to make next to no difference to power output, but can change the feel of the engine (snappier)

with a stainless cat back and K&N at LEAST 200bhp 

[thai-wronghorse]

The GTI badge alone should give your car at least 350bhp by default.
