Everyone knows about the K&N kit but the turn2 stuff is new so it's popular. I've always wanted a K&N induction kit but none of my local tuners carry it. Could you get me a website that does? *EDIT* It's INDUCTION not injection! ![]() |

I got a fair power gain from the 57i though - standard car is 150bhp, with 57i and a remus back box I got 170bhp! |

ha ha ha ha WHAT?????
![]() That is proven on a rolling road at Star Performance in Glenrothes, Scotland. It was 170.5 to be exact, with 149lb/ft. The 2.0 16v engine was de-tuned by VW so that there was more of a gap between it and the VR6. A chip on the standard car gives over 175bhp. |

from 150 to 170 is a 20bhp increase, not 30
![]() Yes, a rolling road is a dyno. No print out I am afraid ![]() The reason a chip gives 25bhp is, as I said before, VW detuned the 2.0 16v in Europe so that there was more of a step between the cars. 8v GTI 115bhp, 16v GTI 150bhp and VR6 174bhp. That is why a simple chip can boost bhp back to where it should have been. Whether you choose to believe me or not, my car ran 170.5bhp with only the back box and a 57i. The ECU was removed and checked on the offchance it had been chipped, but it had the standard VW chip. Have a good weekend ![]() |
