GTD Performance Pack

Why not?
Bigger brakes, diff, and remap.

Or would it step on the GTi's toes too easily...

Remapped would see 230bhp and 350 torque. Animal

But a remapped GTI would make a lot more than 230bhp  :wink:

It's the torque that makes the difference. Remember horsepower will affect how hard you hit the wall, but torque will determine how far you will take it with you.

Yup, bu the massive jump in torque on the MK7 GTI from the MK6 has narrowed the torque gap a lot.

Because if Performance is what you want why haven't you picked the GTI?

Dunno but maybe this is the reason.

But that would give you performance with economy.  :grin:

If they could tune the GTD to what the GTI performs at just now (which I'm sure they could), then would there be a need for the GTI?
Folk would just be buying for the GTI emblem especially those not looking at remapping their GTI.
Not that there is anything wrong with that  :smiley:

But the economy would drop down to the GTI level probably...

They are 2 different products really.  Maxing out the GTD so it is similar to the GTI defeats the point of the GTD.  unless you can do this and still have the economy... But yo can't usually have your cake and eat it, or so I'm told.

As nice to drive as fast diesels are, I have yet to drive one that feels like a fast petrol car. I'm not saying either one is better than the other, just different, and personally I prefer petrol in a performance car. In saying that I fully understand why some people prefer the oil burner.
