APS of Brackley announced Stage One engine performance upgrade for Golf GTi MK VI.

The upgrade is just an ECU remap for the 2.0 litre EA888 TFSI Engine, which is boosted from 207bhp to 250bhp and the torque is raised from 207lb.ft to 292 lb.ft at just 2650rpm.

On the road these numbers mean that the car will accelerate from 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds and the top speed is 155mph.

The price of Stage One is £599.00 fitted, including VAT @ 15%. APS's conversions are covered by a guarantee for the balance of the manufacturer's warranty.

With this engine upgrade Golf GTi is becoming a real hot hatchback.
