yes but you cant up the power and not think about how the car is going to react to it so you need to sort the handling out and how that extra power is going to get on to the road instead of losing it and the car pulling all over the place so having the extra power is a waste. But thats only what i think :smiley:

So does JKM's stage2 package sound a good compromise, with HPFP, TBE, Air filter and software? Surely this would be enough, then ust uprated brakes/suspension?
Dom..
p.s. only ask as this is the way I wanna go.. :)

IMO i think the gti is a more than capable car running stage 2+. im running stage 2+ and find yes the car may roll slightly but from a recent track day iv just being on the car shocked me as such, the brakes were spot on smelt slightly but never faded and never warped. suspension slight roll and understeer but overall very balanced and stable. I personally feel that to spend lots of money on chassis mods before you get chance to fully test and feel the limits of the car then its just a case of all the gear and no idea. I think most the criticism of the cars ability on standard chassis form is down to driver error. sure if i was to start doing more track days id consider uprateing some items to make it better but for the general driver road use its 100% fine and for the odd track day and anything other id say upgrade.
