I was looking at the specs, 180hp, and it is a light car.
Would a moded maxima beat it? - ypipe intake

Basically it just turns up the boost.. Because I heard that the VW engines are detuned from the factory, so they can handle the extra boost.. Go read vwvortex.com forums, thats we're I'm getting my info from...

its an increase in boost.. from stock 12 PSI i think to about 20 PSI peak.. instead of getting a MBC

I've heard that aftermarket ECU programs work wonders for those cars... is there nothing in the program that modifies the turbo boost or timing settings and bumps them up a bit higher? With that kind of power gain I would suspect it's more than just a simple fuel curve or rev limiter change.

Low 15's and low 90mph traps, sounds about even for a 4/5 gen Max.

lets just say it was more than 3 cars to 90 mph..and one of my closest and dearest friends has a 2k1 vr6 .. his is chipped now.. car hauls.. 0 - 70 mph he can hang with my cousin's GS400 .. actually i was in the car with my cousin and from 20 - 80 the GTI had 1 car.. and we couldn't catch him.. and he had another passenger also.. he is skills on Vortex..

I sure as hell hope whoever gets one of those chips for their GTI either gets a turbo timer, or understands the concept of letting their car cool down while idling.

Just read in a magazine now, and it states that a stock GTI puts down like 142hp to the wheels, and 162ft/lbs, and they added a cat-back and chip, and it increased to approx. 180 to the wheels with 206ft/lbs at the wheels, that's modded 5spd 4th gen Maxi territory with a slight weiht advantaged grantesd to the GTI. Damn boost-adding chips

the 2k2 GTI vr6 and shssssh (some like my friends 2k1) come with 201 hp 210 tq ... in my opinion ALL 2k1 came with 201 hp they just underated it at the factory.. some guy dynoed his bone stock 2k1 and got 177 fwhp.. now it was rated as 185 at the crank from the factory

Aren't some of those VW motors, such as the vr6 motor, the same ones used in the audis?

I raced a brand new GTi like 3 days ago...Not sure if it was VR6 or 1.8T. I think it was an auto...We raced off a dead stop....De took off and then I took off late...wondering if he was really racing....And i came back and beat him by like 2 car lengths and pulling still but had to stop to turn.
