JASGTI:
Right thanks for the info, I've got some internals on order with w8performance, now to decide on inter cooler, I've seen a few cheap twin cooler kits not forge but hey the £400 cheaper, any1 used these before..

keano:
You need 3" downpipe

RedRobin:
.
You're running ~265 bhp (regular dyno number?) on a Mk5 GTI (not Ed30) without a high-flow exhaust and want more power?

I think you would firstly better benefit from more powerful brakes and better handling mods including a LSD and engine mounts. Power is useless without traction.

To prevent risk of fuel cutouts etc you definitely need an aftermarket HPFP - Even now at 265 bhp it will benefit you. The APR pump will give peace of mind. < You have already decided Autotech internals, so bung them in a brand new OEM pump.

You need a performance high-flow TBE exhaust to exploit your remap and I'm surprised that your tuner didn't advise you of that! You need that next, hence why Keano advised downpipe.

JASGTI:
I've got a 3inch down pipe which is connected to a miletk centre res section and a blue flame suit case delet, so a twin cooler and hpfp internals should do it for now then sort brakes and poly bushing then I'm sure it will be clutch and k04 time cars only on 22k so hopefully not for a while as want to fit r1 bike carbs to my mk2 and use that a bit more next summer . Thanks for the info tho, my mate builds gear boxes as his job so when I have to do the clutch and uprate it is a LSD a real pound for pound upgrade?

....Sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by "is a LSD a real pound for pound upgrade?"

It's a relatively expensive mod which you can't sell on (unless you sell the whole gearbox) but it transforms the car's handling if you either do enthusiastic road driving or trackdays. The fact that the Mk7 now has a LSD and also other FWD fast hatchbacks like the Ford RS, illustrates its benefits and importance.

Hope this helps  :happy2:
