It is worth noting that most mk6 GTIs dont actually put out the quoted 210 PS.
VW have been quite conservative with their power outputs.........

My thoughts exactly and was just about to type the same.

I read a post on a Mk6 that was put on a rolling road before a remap and was putting out 237bhp before the remap !
Mk6 GTi - returned to leasing company after 3 great years and replaced with :

Mk5 GTi - Edition 30 - Revo 1 and some tweaks - 310 bhp. Its a better car than the Mk6  - Now sold and replaced with :

Mk6 R - Rising Blue 5 Door. Won't be standard 270bhp for long

Family Car : Mercedes ML420 with 360 bhp
Looking at Porsche Macan as replacement

I think you're right, particularly in the case of turbo diesels so maybe turbo petrols are the same?. When I had my 118d remapped at Noble motorsport it rolling roaded at 162bhp, should have been around 143bhp. I was told that this was almost always the case with turbo'd engines. I came out with a nice 185bhp.

Anyone been on a rolling road with their GTi and can report their stock figures?

If you are a real porker and the other bloke was a skinny runt then your car might be carrying 100 kg more.
That would take up most of the exra power gained from a remap.

My Mk6 GTI with a map used to outrun standard S3s, so I suspect he was either DSG, good driver, or you were carrying some weight.

If it's mapped then he must be a garbage driver :D
