i didnt know anything about these cars
and i haven't been to a track in a very long time
last winter season? so in my head i was like well it might be possible
because i didnt know the turbo size or engine size and etc.

Both of the installers at our local best buy drive 400+awhp sti's lol. APR Tuning does make some pretty incredible gains with just there chipsets but it doesnt take a high 14 low 15 car into the 11's. However I have seen mid 2000's model GTI's reach into the 11's with a turbo and intercooler upgrade, meth injection, and a tune.

**** talkers
I had some guy doing something similar.... said he had a fast rx-7. said he ran 10s. He was arrogently confident as well. I ended up finding out he was talking 1/8 mile. i run 11s in 1/4 (street tires) so i told him i knew i was going to lose i just wanted to see how well i kept up with a 10 second car. Yeah it was murder.

As was stated earlier... 1.8T chip from most tuners (APR, GIAC, Neuspeed) raises the HP from ~175hp to ~220hp (using info for the 2002MY as I drive an 02 Passat 1.8T). Ive been wanting to do that for sometime but every time I get ready to purchase a chip something breaks on the car.
Also, you gain more HP tuning a 1.8/2.0T over the N/A V6.
