Post by: Shins on January 02, 2009, 07:28:24 pm: Well I've put it up on our forum but to be honest the majority are all track day fans but you never know, some may turn up on the day. I've tried and although good fun, I too prefer track days, I got a measley 14.5 1/4 mile with about 280bhp, best on day being 13.9, so I'm what you might call........................sh*t at it anyway! :grin:

Post by: Shins on January 02, 2009, 08:16:48 pm: I'll say something, I'm gobsmacked at the fact you lot pay the same as us for Bluefin, yet you get 61bhp increase to our measley 25bhp increase, unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!! :confused:

So what's the sort of mod stages with the MKV Golf then?

Ours for example:

Bluefin
Full exhaust system (manifold included)
Forge Actuator running 21psi
K&N Induction Kit

Result - Around 290-310bhp!

Post by: 182_blue on January 02, 2009, 08:21:36 pm: with a full exhaust (plus maybe a panel filter) and bluefin you can get 321bhp :happy2: ,thats a 91 bhp increase LOL

thats edition 30's

Post by: 182_blue on January 02, 2009, 08:29:30 pm: i dont track, your best asking others that TBH, there pretty rapid on the road though :happy2:, ps the Edition 30's have a few different bits on the engines to the normal golfs (like larger turbo for eg)
Title: Re: Quick Hello!
Post by: Shins on January 02, 2009, 08:33:03 pm: Oh right, well with a hybrid of the standard turbo on ours you can achieve 350-370bhp, what's the manifold like on the Golf?

Post by: 182_blue on January 02, 2009, 08:42:06 pm: Awesome GTi have a 380bhp Garrett GT2871 conversion, think the quickest mk5 is the USP one with 600bhp
