Rep Power: 397 Why are you ppl getting 25's lol, your gonna be losing power past 63~6500 rpms... sure it's great for low end but once you start passing 3rd gear your goona lose to a larger 28 or 3/4. I seriosuly think you should consider a 28

our motors fall way off the curve after 6300-6400.......meaning, you will lose power.

There's no point to have potential power beyond redline unless Hondata ever comes out with a reflash cuz the stock ecu has the car loosing power before redline too.

Rep Power: 0 A stock jetta runs 7 psi stock, i used to be a vw guy. I've seen a 1.8t run 22 psi, at 11.4 1/4 on stock internals. The turbo had been changed of course. They are all easy to turbo, if you want a cheap turbo set up and a total sleeper. Put a TDI manifiold, turbo, and downpipe and stock intercooler, AIC controller, w/injector, blowoff turbotimer, for 1,500 Canadian dollar you 200 whp out of junkyard parts. Food for the brain!
Don't drink and post, you will end up hilarious.

Rep Power: 343 I know the current GTI's run 8 psi from the factory with the K03. In stock form they are quick but nothing a boosted civic couldn't handle. However once chipped they become a completely different story. My friend Shaun recently got the APR chip installed on his 2004 GTI now he spikes at 22 psi and holds at 18. While most people think "22 psi that must be fast" however a T25 is much bigger than a K03, so even at 22 psi hes only making about 220ish whp.
