You've got to think about insurance and running costs tho dude, gti's aren't really THAT quick is it worth the extra fuel etc for another 30bhp over stage 1 Hdi?
You really think you'll buy a GTI and leave it completely standard?
Yeah you prob won't be doing power mods as its £ra*e.99 per pony on a n/a petrol but you'll still mess around with it!

Having had a stage 1 and a 155bhp stage 2 HDi and then going to a 6'.. it is completely worth it and yes, they've got plenty of poke in standard form, handling mods should come before power mods anyway

People seem to forget how different 6's can be between eachother.. i've seen 2 6's on the same dyno, 1 was standard and the other had 'stage 1' mods (de-cat, exhaust, air filter etc..) standard one made 173bhp and the modified one made 163bhp...
