I can understand the point of correctional factors throwing thins off.
Was it ever proven somehow that US cars make less power than EU? Some argue that it's only an issue of units.

Golf R, that fast?

yes all my points are regarding euro spec gtis strictly. it would be helpful if the dyno and CF used in the futrellautowerks mk6 gti dyno run were known. i could try and contact them.
next week my intake is coming on and i will be redynoing. safe to say results are not tampered with if i get consistant results? i will film the entire process

Just wanted to throw this out...the new haledex unit can put almost 100% of the power to the rear wheels...how awesome would that be with a haledex controller...plus that will in turn mean less drivetrain power loss
also...the fsi is a better platform for making power...its easier to upgrade fueling to make more power, plus is has forged internals and lower compression pistons...if i can i will trade in my gti when it comes

The new r cannot be compared to a gti with a ko4 and awd swap. The bifg differnce for me is that the r will have stronger internals so it wont be stuck at the 300whpish barrier. Some guys in europe have ed30 that have 350+whp. I would think the new r will be good to at least 400whp with out upgrding internls, while I know that the regular fsi motors are at 350 whp. This is to say if you put a bigger turbo than a ko4. Imagine a r with a gt3071 runnnig 400whp pretty crazy stuff.
I also emailed apr to see what the euro stage 2+ apr tunes for the R's re running.

many have apr stage 3 TSI on stock internals. beyond that offcourse and they'll have to be upgraded.

Might want to do some research there bud.
"Hey-oh, look at that. The GTI puts out as much power at the wheels what Volkswagen claims its makes at the flywheel, and a skosh more torque."

PVEZ. Stupid CA emissions, usually results with the Euro cars making more horsepower even though their websites state the same, with exceptions of course. Manufactures also like to mess with the numbers so they look pretty (think BMW E54 engines 300/300) and I think it helps to have all their global cars the same on paper for exporting to different counties where theirs different laws.
OP: I drove a Audi A3 fwd dsg, VW R32 and Audi A3 dsg quattro and when driving around town the fwd is better just because its lighter and responds to steering wheel input a little quicker, you do feel the weight added by awd. But once you start getting towards the limits of traction everything changes. From a dig awd is the best unless it unpowered and when cornering you'll be able to mash the throttle earlier and have faster exit speeds. I think the real question is which is more fun to drive, when the MKV R32 came out a lot of journalist choose the GTI over the R32 because it just was that much more fun to drive. Also neither of these cars, including the Golf-R allow you to turn of traction control and because of that, I drive a Evo. But if that's not important to you and you dont mind the high cost of the R and higher cost of ownership then I say hands down the MKVI R all the way.
