Well the stock Turbos run 150 horse. With a few wise upgrades (downpipe, bigger intake with better flow, injectors, exhaust, and a ECU upgrade) it can be pushed to like 250-300 horse? Oh, and don't forget a bigger intercooler, and fuel management.

Currently besides "appearance" upgrades on mine the only real mechanical upgrade was my Stage 1 clutch that I put in recently. Very nice.

And the turbos go like a Bat out of hell man

I went from the 2.0 to the 1.8T and I was like WHEEEEEEeeeeeeeee all the way home on my 6 hour drive from where I picked up the car.
