what gti would that be?????crank?or wheels?
He had a Golf GTI. And he said 180HP to the wheels.

Maybe I'd run the Formy if you drove the bitch, but you never do. Get it while it's hot because I'm buying my duals Friday nigga.
If the longtubes are any indication of how long its gonna be, i dont think I'll have to hurry up. You're moving at my pace. The pops said he's gonna let me use the garage for the formula, so its being kept

A 2003 1.8t GTI w/ 5spd manual transmission. This was done on Abacus' dyno before they sold it. As I said in my post that you quoted, the stated power was at the front wheels.

I am in no ways aruging(sP) with you im just saying if i had to do it all over again i would have gotten a wrx
Moding a 1.8t is definetly worth it. If you pm me with your goals/budget I can help you out. There are plenty of vw owners here that have the knowledge/experience to lend more than a helping hand.

Go test drive each one, and ask the salesman if you're allowed to take off real fast from a stop, just one time. See which one says 'ok but just once' and see which one says 'umm.. no.', then proceed to ask salesperson 2 why.

I'd be willing to wager which one will say what...
