Sometimes the full power on these turbos is achieved at 95% throttle - it is on mine - leave 5mm travel instead of completely flooring it and you get more power.

[@derleon9876]

this is maximum 260hp I would say. There is plenty room of inprovement on this car. RS Intake, Blockmod, good aftermarket exhaust, downpipe, upgrade intercooler (probably the most important), upgrade dump valve and then you have 320 HP. 100-200 roughly 12s then. Top Speed ~ 260kmh

Based on the 100-200 times, it should be closer to 250 hp than 270. Stage 1 is usually 260 hp and 420 nm without a downpipe and exhaust you don’t get much more, not to mention if you still have the factory cat.

[@bleachyunknown2000]

@@thecreedy I mean, not very amazing, maybe they start making torque early, I don't know much about these engines, but for example Megane RS makes over 460nm torque with just a remap [talking about the Megane III RS] and it's a 2.0T 4-cylinder, but I guess that's a healthy number for 4 or 5 cylinder engines, so you might be right!

[@michaelsiegel9658]

I could imagine he should invest into a 3" exhaust system. Then it does not feel bottlenecked at higher revs anymore. Mine is stage 3 with 300hp and does 100-200 in 12,5s so there should be some more potential with a proper exhaust 🤔 and a bigger intercooler is a must but I think that is already changed, eitg the original one the ecu limits the power even on stock performance at warm summer days

Well I’m not as disappointed now. I expected to be Green with Envy. My 2011 SES with some FXWERKS upgrades, 2 1/2 in Cat Back & Stealth Muffler, ECU reflash for updated TSP and Air Fuel mix, timing & New Pioneer Glass Touch Screen & Maestro RR added behind for the Controls on the wheel and those GAUGES that Ford was to cheap to put in are onboard on the touch screen behind CarPlay. No Turbo, Automatic 2.0 Lt. It’s a Purdy Sporty grocery getter for GrandDads that would like a faster Tuner Car. It’s not a Race Car. But I routinely go Lose Your License & a few weekends in jail,,,,, FAST,,,, on the way home. Ohhhhh the steering is a scaled down GT-40 rack & pinion. Really Very Very Nice, coupled with Eibach 2” drop sport springs & GoodRich G-Force radials. It’s good for those corners, Very Tight. No Surprises. It will do 120 plus and get 30mpg. Little Air Starved at take off because of the baby air inlet in the grill. I need to work on that. Gas It, Oil it, Wash it, change tires every 50k. It’s probably THE best maintenance free, rally type, American,,, Euro Touring Ride I’ve ever had. But they stopped making them for the Americans.

The Golf (and other cars based on it) from this era weren't that good. The ST has much better steering and gear change. I drove one back to back with a Cupra K1 back in the day and the Cupra felt numb and pretty boring in comparison. The ST has way more torque and a higher top speed too, the 5 pot is pretty strong.
