Haha, I did seriously consider my options stage 2+ K03/ K04/ S3 conversion etc.. But tbh its a bit too much money and also I have no self control and will just get banned again trying to race everything  :laugh:.

I think just fixing it and mapping should get me to about 270ishbhp and 300lb/f so shouldn't need a new clutch and still plenty of power. Then spend that money on doing 2-3 track days a year.

So today she was picked up by the RAC for free because I had to leave my car at a 'friends house'  :laugh:  :jumpmove: little tip dont register your account at your own house.

So she's going to Stealth Racing in Southam to be fixed and probably going to strap on a K04, question is how much power can I really put through my 10 year old 110k mile AXX lump and how long will it last?

Shoduchi:
Sorry to know that your GTI has mechanical problems, but it's good to know that you'll upgrade the turbo. :smiley:

I hope you have it back running well soon. :drinking:

xjay1337:
If you put a BBT K03 hyrbid on with HPFP or a K04 you will be fine up to around 330-340bhp to be honest. If you get it mapped at Niki he'll keep everything safe.
Low comp pistons wouldn't hurt.

dazza:
Hopefully not to much damage has been done, as a fellow AXX owner i will be watching this closely.
