You say that but I flicked on here last night and stumbled upon a race spec interiored mk5, and mk6 with 2.5tfsi running gear. Think the power bug has landed in the uk.

wow, wasnt quite expecting that when clicking on this thread! awesome build man, love how you have gone down the scene route and then taken the GTI back to its roots of being a performance vehicle! :happy2: this is going to be a serious weapon when its done. massive respect for doing this to ypur GTI instead of selling up and just buying an S3 like others seem to do! keep up the good work :happy2:

which ECU will you be using?

I wanted to track it but I think this year I'll just use it as a fast road car and hopefully next winter I'll be in a better position to stop it, cage it etc. I'll be using the standard Ecu too.

bet it'll be an interesting drive, SWB 4WD. Is it permanent 4WD and whats the power split?
wouldnt a full blown ECU open the car up so much as for its full potential power wise? I dont know much about the vag ECU's, is there a great deal of scope to tweak this, that and the other to get the best out of the engine?
