I should have been clearer before hand, I was told this by a certain GTI tuner in melbourne.... so i have no evidence of these cars.

Let's not confuse power at the wheels vs at the crank. Fair bit of loss through the transmission. From what I understand Guy's car made 220-230kw at the wheels, that's pretty respectable (or around 260kw-ish at the crank?). The bloke you were talking to was probably talking HP, not kW.

I know a tuned K04 should be fine (I have one) and that turns out over 400nm, and does it real early in the rev band too.

The Garrett GT2871R's provide more power in terms of kW, but from the graphs I've seen, the torque peaks are pretty much the same (on regular fuel). Peak torque just comes in later and lasts longer. Power comes in pretty much the same, but just keeps on going up. Another 50kW or so over the top of a tuned K04. Again, at the crank.

For those on K03's, meh I wouldn't even spend a millisecond worrying about it.

if its who i'm thinking than its the mob down at volkspower who telling everybody this figure and yes its kw atw.

pretty sure guy's car is a gt30 or even bigger. definately not a gt28 or a standard apr stage 3.

Amazing aint it. These are only 2 litre engines.

Not too sure what I'm gonna do next, I'm seriously considering getting it Bluefinned but the extra torque with the DSG is a worry. On the outside probably some OEM 18s, a slight drop and possibly replacing the rear bumper with one of the Euro ones - can't remember what it's called... Might have been the R-Line one. My bank account already hates me so it's gonna be a while...

Happy Birthday for the other week and do the chipping! Can never remember whether the Pacific is the 77 or 103 but I got my 103 done the other week and am lovin it

Haha it's the 103, can't imagine having any less power than I do now.
I'll probably get it done after I get my DSG fixed and the 15 000 service so probably another month or two to go.

Just a word of warning: Once you've had it done, start saving for new front tires
