204kw wheel power about 10 to 15% more should be the engine power, this is stock.

I think this follow up post is even more confusing

So APR tuned R has 380sh kw?

Somebody else needs to contact Guy Harding to set the story straight. 204 kW at the wheel translates to about 235 kW at the flywheel using the 15% drive-train loss rule for FWD, assuming no power or torque sent to the rear wheels, if no front wheel slippage is detected. Circa 380 kW for APR tuning equates to 510 HP, which doesn't sound realistic in the slightest. Perhaps he meant 380 HP, which equates to 283 kW, which sounds more realistic.

Yes I may be confuse about the HP and KW sorry about that, but like I said I can't remember well the number, anyhow you will find the numbers about in a month...

No worries, thanks for trying to provide an update anyway!

Def looking forward to what they can come up with the R/S3!

just wondered if anyone else who has a Golf R Manual on order has been given any updates on
- when deliveries are expected to start
- whether there will be any spec differences to the earlier build DSGs
thanks
