Being a quick late model front wheel drive, Stephen’s MK5 GTi has achieved solid results with bolt on parts. Making near on 340hp to the tyres, the stock internal 2L is aided by an APR stage 2 upgrade kit, leaving the stock turbocharger and cat back exhaust in place. A Wavetrac LSD and drag slicks are a must for traction.
