If you are ready to spend a lot of money get a GTI, sell your car and do the GTI up.
Even then you will get a lot of torque steer, and a lot of wheelspin. Your clutch might start slippong, CV joints might wear out quicker, etc. FWD can never take a lot of power. MK5 GTIs have trouble putting power on the ground with everything stock

yeah balkanac i reckon thats the way to go to, i'll keep this for a little while and then probably upgrade to an r32. Thanks also rolf golf! greatly appreciated. cheers Nick
