[QUOTE="MachJoe, post: 13230996, member: 138865"] I know the engine and transmission. Its the FSI engine (from the 06-08 GTIs) they have better top end, but require more mods and maintenance. You'd need a better fuel pump to go stage 2+ which is $1,000. And you have to keep an eye on the cam follower. I had to replace mine in my 08 GTI 2 times, last I knew they're $50-60. In my opinion, and many will agree with me, that the TSI engine in the 2009-current model GTIs are a lot better. The stock fuel pump can handle whatever you throw at it and you don't have to worry about the cam follower. The TSI engine makes great midrange power. I had a 2011 GTI and modded the hell out of it. Had close to 50k miles on it when I sold it and not 1 problem. Still miss that car. [/QUOTE]
