Exonian: I asked Andrew at DTUK whether only a new loom was needed to make a GTD box suitable for an R (and then a reprogram) and the answer was no, there's a hardware difference, not sure whether that is the case with a GTI box (which may even be fine with the same loom).
Ahh, I assumed the basic box was the same but the electronics would need a re-flash and obviously the loom would have to be changed.
Shame.
A 360 bhp R would be an interesting proposition on nice shiny Bridgestones!!!
