as said above,

if you buy a normal GTI(K03 TFSI engine) with 197Hp/207Ibft,

you would require to a performance downpipe, performance intake, performance intercooler, uprated fuel pump and a good stage 2+ remap to make yourself reach 280Hp/330Ibft.  to hit 300Hp you would require water methanol injection or nitrous really, or a go on superchips dyno for some free horsepower :wink:  the above would cost around £2000.  but searching second hand you can massively reduce thatoutlay.

if you were to buy a golf GTI ED30, leon cupra or S3,  a remap alone (£500) will see you at 280-300Hp.  add an exhaust, intake and stage 2 remap and you'll hit 330Hp, add a fuel pump and you'll be pushing upto 360Hp/360Ibft  for the same price as the std GTI.

in short,

£2000 of mods on a k03 TFSI will gain you an additional 70-80Hp and 100-130ibft.
£2000 of mods on a k04 TFSI will gain you an additional 100-130Hpand 100-130ibft.

the k04 engine is pretty much untouchable for tuning poential in this price range.  even the focus RS when fully tuned with identical mods wil struggle to keep up with a k04 VAG, and thats considering it started at 300Hp as well

thanks for the help. reason i wanna sell the civic is just really cos im bored of it and fancy a change, dont get me wrong its got all the right mods, is very fast, does a 12.8 1/4 mile at santa pod and does really well on track. just really like the mk5 golf and the dub scene. mite not be able to push to a edition 30, so id just get the normal one, but with dsg.  :smiley:
i really fancy a grey one with dsg, leather, lower it alittle and a nice set of bbs splits. and of course some good engine mod to get around the 300 mark.
Im going nurberg again next may so really wanna get one before then.

thanks steve

there is the option of a putting the turbo from a K04 TFSI onto the k03 engine.  thhis will give you upto 330hp.  quite a few guys have done it, and gone from 270-280 at k03 stage 2+ all the way upto 320Hp+. 

others have dropped ed30 engines into their GTIs.  the whole engine can be picked up for about £1500 if your lucky, and it would pretty much be a straight swap bar a little play with he ECU

JPC:
Welcomes!

Greeners:
Welcome chap!  :drinking:

Any pics of the Civic?

I'd say the Golf will not be as reliable as the Civic and they are far from faultless. Build quality and residuals however will be far better!  :happy2:
