If you want to move on to a mk3 VRS...

APR remap, stage 1: 320bhp! TUV approved figures.

I think Shark are getting similar results.

Stage 2 map, +downpipe and intake: 344bhp.

any links?

TSI with a k03 ? Just imagine if they had of strapped a k04 on instead !

I highly doubt you can make 300+ BHP out of the tiny K03.

Something tells me mk3 does have the K04 strapped from the factory. Think about it, all Golf GTI special editions come with K04.

Here's the link http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/313149-sponsor-tuning-the-new-20t-octy/

They are IHI turbos in the mk7 Golf Mk3 Octy. Gone are the KO's, not sure about the R or the Leon Cupra 280, may still use KO4

Yeah IHI I knew there was something different ! Stage 2 remap making nearly 350 bhp without changing the turbo, give it a bit and see what a hybrid will do on a mk3 !

I reckon the 220ps unit is just fairly detuned for power given its otherwise fairly large standard torque peak and probably does not massively differ to the unit used in the Cupra 265/280.

Standard turbo and HPFP are obviously capable of dealing with a fair bit more boost and fuel pressure than in standard form.

Expect the 300ps S3/Golf R unit will have a different turbo and maybe slightly bigger injectors, dont know as havent really looked into it but if it were not able to make 340-360ps after a map I'd be surprised as its again probably not overly stressed at its 300ps standard output.

Torque steer much?

S3 and mk7 R's are getting about 370bhp stage 1!

Torque steer could be an issue, not sure how the electronic diff copes. The PP package on the Golf would see it right though.

But you could always throw 1.5k down for a fitted LSD.
