UK-based tuning firm APS has just revealed details of an engine upgrade for the latest Volkswagen Golf GTI.
2009 APS Golf GTI Stage One
With just an ECU remap APS have raised output from the 2.0-litre TFSI by 43bhp and 85lb-ft, with peaks increased to 250bhp and 292lb-ft.
This results in a useful drop in the 0-60mph time of 0.7 seconds, down to 6.2 seconds, a figure that happens to beat Volkswagen’s upcoming Scirocco R by two tenths. Top speed will be increased, although APS haven’t released an official figure yet.
If you’re interested, the upgrade costs £599 fitted and is available immediately. APS also offer a warranty on the conversion.
