mine is classed as a 1.8T, and it is lunacy i love it and it sounds fooking awesome when u plant that foot.. would not swap it for any other engine...  ill just swap out the turbo for a bigger one  :evil:

mine is the S3 engine with K04, theirs zero lag and it pull and pulls and pulls..it is great fun

theirs no lag with any of the KKK turbos, be it K03, K03s or K04


Len trust me on this, a VR has nowhere near as much grunt as mine.. that is a promise

Mines only the 150 AUM with a stage 1 and even that eats most other hot hatches for breakfast, most fun have been a new focus st and the clio with that silly bodykit and twin exhausts. I'm not a racer but these are to my knowledge the quickest couple of cars that have tried to have a go with me and didnt get left for dust (though they did get well and truely beaten  :evil:)

I agree its all about the torque, it just keeps going! A vr6 would be some kind of pre breakfast snack that probably got washed away with the mouthwash (analogies are not my strong point)

me and ben completely abliterated a VR6 when we were out testing mine.. like really showed him what a fast MK3 is like. was p1ss funny looking at his face as we blasted past.. was on a duel carriageway and he thought he was gonna easily leave me behind (obviously thinking mine was just a 8v as i was behind him)   big mistake, he picked the wrong 8v to mess with that day  :laugh:

The mk4 is heavier than the mk3. Brad, you can't say anything, your car is not a standard 1.8T.
And Dom, 245ft lb from just a remap??  :huh:

Yup pretty much; remap, Forge 007p, pipercross filter & smoothed airbox:



That was on Carbon's rollers which are well known to be deadly accurate :wink:

It did indeed and although the power figures are fairly similar it's all about the torque! 182lb/ft vs 245lb/ft is a huge difference and a lot more noticeable than a similar hp difference would be :wink:

That is the one thing I have noticed on mine is the extra torque, mid range is epic.

I will have to try and got a video of mine so Len can see how little lag it has, it spools up really quick.
