No, the GTI has an IHI turbo like the MK6.

It depends on which model of IHI turbo it is... I suspect it will be either an RHF55 (good for about 270ps) or an RHF6 (good for about 320ps)

I guess it would be an IHI on the GTD as well? But a different model...

We know APR have cracked the ECU as they run a mk7 race car and probably several developmental road cars. It's just whether the ECU needs to be opened up to re-map. Kinda like the first re-chips I had back on my Leon Cupra many lifetimes ago.



K03 or IHI? Well with REVO on a mk5 it would run about 240bhp and the mk6 around 260 on the rolling road days I attended a few years ago. Different engines though and the mk7 is similar to mk6 but with significant differences so 280 should be easily possible.

The numbers I gave above for the IHI Turbo models were IHIs rating for the Turbo...

If the GTI has an RHF55 IHI recommend that unit for applications up to 270ps, the IHI RHF6 for applications up to 322ps and was in response to the question... which is better IHI or KKK and it depends on the turbo fitted and the application...

They both had similar compressor maps, so not a lot of difference. It will depend on which particular turbo is selected on the MK7.

Shark Performance...

http://www.sharkperformance.co.uk/article?20

Pay attention at the back of the class!

Lots on here about DTUK and Shark which is an add on box totally bypassing the ECU.
Produces good figures too, but this thread is about whether the 'big guns' can crack the ECU itself.
