Brands Hatch revealed the GTI was lacking in grunt - time to do something about it | Promoted
One of the key messages we were keen to get across with our Mk5 Volkswagen Golf GTI build is that power should be one of the boxes to tick off on your shopping list. New tyres, brakes and coilovers slashed the deficit to our Golf R target car by 2.4 seconds around Curborough’s figure of eight layout, but last episode’s trip to Brands Hatch revealed that despite it being much more capable in the corners, our GTI was now underpowered.
Of course, the engine management doesn’t adapt when you throw new parts at the engine, so even if you’re sucking in more cold air, the ECU will continue to operate as if the car was stock. Seeing as we’ve mostly stuck to Revo parts in the name of consistency, we sent our newly improved GTI over to the company’s HQ to undergo a much-needed remap.
