They state up to 353BHP & 500 NM of Torque but the graphs show a max of 320BHP on 98RON? Which to be honest isn't much of a gain over Stage 1...
The image with the GTI also states 320BHP and 330LBFT Torque which is less than 450NM. This leads me to believe that the claimed 350+BHP/500NM torque is only achievable with race fuel..
My best dyno pull with just the intake and Stage 1 was 315BHP and 322LBFT, that was on a very accurate dyno.
So a gain of 5BHP and 8LBFT torque for the cost of an uprated Intercooler (£700) Full turbo cat back exhaust (£1500) and the Stage 2 upgrade from Stage 1 (£50) Doesn't seem great value for money to me. Even if you just get the Downpipe it's still extremely expensive for barely noticeable gains.
I can see why they've pinned back the power don't get me wrong. Off the line the car does struggle for traction over 300BHP.
