    ^ Here you go... i've seen a few dyno and they weren't that impressive. Its pretty common for NA cars to loose quite a bit, just depends when they roll out of the factory

    i've raped quite a few r32, not knocking them but as stated you can't touch 1.8t until you go FI. but if i was going to buy either it would be r32 they are absolutely beautiful.

    Point being that the claimed 200 whp is wrong or the this dyno is wrong!! I've gotten pulled on but never raped!! If you running APR stage 3 I can see that, but not a 1.8T with just standard bolt ons...maybe just pulled on. I've been raped by a Ferrari, AMG Mercedes, and Tuned M5....and didn't mind that considering how light those guys pockets are now...I blew out a 1.8T top end at about 158 mph...I was surprised at that. (closed course ) Of course My original point still stands...get a VR and plan to drive it for 200k miles! Now let's see some 1.8T dynos from those who have raped Rs...just so we can decided if there is a bit of exaggeration. Now picture below with another 100HP, yes I do need FI, low easy boost of course.


    Hey Hugo! Just give me a call for the Audi to come in for service!!
