I've been a car enthusiast for over 10 years now, and I have to say, in anybody's book, the Volkswagen GTI's name will come up whether people are complimenting on how well-rounded the car is or how much they hate it because they're stuck with their torqueless Honda. There's no ridiculously large wings or bumpers here, just clean OEM+ Euro-styling that makes it one of the most sought after cars I would ever want to own...
Running 20 Psi. and spiking 23 on GIAC X+ Software is probably making 233whp / 268trq on 100-Octane (I have the 'Race' setup on the GIAC)... 233 is not a huge number but its definitely isn't bad for a STOCK turbo... my best time at the track was 13.6 at 106 mph, after a few bad runs with crazy torque steer... the second best run was 14.9 @ 104 mph... bad time but good velocity... There's NO VTEC here haha, just a torque-friendly machine that spanks much of the competition out there...
