I'd get the upgrade without the visual mods.

But then again, if so much power can be extracted, I'm sure it's in the expense of turbo lag right?

 

[Yperion]

Normally there is no turbo lag in the TFSI engine cause the Turbocharger starts to work from less than 2000 rpm.
To reach the 300 hp output Abt has to change the turbo to a new one so i don't know what will happen then.

0-100 in 5.9s with 300 hp for a car that size/weight is sub-par IMO...

 

[YoungWarrior]

Id expect Evolution and STi style of lag. Nothing, nothing, nothing, wooooosh.

 

[zetableh]

I dunno, because my dad has a 2.0T FSI, and there is ZERO lag. It's just POWER!

Because its wrong wheel drive. (FWD)

FWD or not, it's still slow. A Neon SRT-4 is FWD and does sixty in 5.4 secs, not sure about hte HP rating though?

Yeah, VAG probably did their research to build in a suitable turbo that would provide the best performance & the least lag possible in one combination. Rather I'm asking whether ABT did their homework on this one - 300bhp seems far too much power for a FWD car, IMO.

That all depends how it is mananged, take for instance the Mini cooper. To balance out the power distribution and eliminate torque steer, engineers equipped the car w/ equal length drive shafts. 200hp seems to be the general limit for a FWD car before torque steer becomes an issue, however when balanced engineering is put into practice, those negative effects can be eliminated.

I think 300bhp is far too much for a RWD!

220bhp is the limit for FWD IMO, if you have any more the car will act very badly!

Also this conversion sounds quite expensive!

BTW can this upgrade happen to any VAG car with this engine? If this is true, then the Audi A4 with this upgrade would be good, if it had quattro!

American figures are always alot faster than that of europeans for the same car, and 0-60 is not the same as 100km/h. 100km/h is 62mp/h which would require another gear change.

300HP is overkill in FWD though.

Woah. Imagine this kit in a Skoda Octavia vRs (which, according to EVO, has the same 2.0TFSI engine) - ultimate sleeper.
