The 1.8t runs a low 6psi in stock form. With just a chip you bump that up to 12-14psi and that gets you about 50hp. You can mod that engine out to about 300hp, depending on the money you want to spend. Check out www.tap1.com for some examples.
Road and Track had an article on some German Tuner cars. There is an Ottenger 1.8t Bora in there tweaked out to 230-250hp. It launches the Jetta in 6.x seconds. The 60-100 times are probably more impressive though. You need the 4motion if you want a driveable car with over 250hp. Otherwise torque steer is nearly unmanageable. Dave.
