I will get it mapped so its not peaking, a smooth bit of delivery.  I know the TDI Golfs PD engines can handle 300lb/ft max.  Just unsure about GTI

all TFSIs peak and drop off, thats the trait of the engine.  2nd gear and 3rd gear pulls are more than fine, its when your doing 5th and 6th gear pulls from 2k that you'll have an issue in the end.  Drop a cog raise the revs and you'll be fine.
