If u do a little reasearch youd find that u can easily upgrade the turbo it will cost about 2000 and most u can find inter coolers too which would put u at about 235hp & 220tq but mind u it doesnt really kickin untill the turbo spools. This a more straight strip and drag setup.The Vr6 is a more streetable engine that stk has about 205 hp and 195 tq and with exhaust computer and intake could easily push about 215 -220hp and about 210 215 Tq which is Excellent for Auto-X or street. I woud suggest sus mods and if u get the 17" Tire upgrade to about 215/40or45/17.

Yea, you're way wrong.
2002-2003 1.8T = 180hp 180torque ... However, on the dyno after break-in, they put down more like 190hp and 200 torque at the flywheel. The 1.8T is more fun to drive and easier to toss around compared to the VR6 which is a little more nose-heavy. The 1.8T only requires a chip to boost it to about 210 wheel horsepower and 240wheel torque. The stock k03 turbo is good for about 350hp before it becomes a risk of failure. Whichever car you get, I would suggest Suspension before engine mods. These cars are 'blessed'
with a solid rear axle suspension which is very poor. Add that to the very soft suspension and you have tons of body roll.
