    That's pretty impressive, gaining so much power with just intake/downpipe and a tune. The stock intake and exhaust must be very restrictive.

    I think the stock chip is very conservative. I bet the Speed 3 has the same thing going on. The hp difference between the Speed3 and GTI is probably due to the k04 turbo. You have a great advantage of already having the k04. Have you looked into having it reprogrammed?

    i dont believe you cant compare the two on hp because the GTI is rated at the wheels while the mazda is not.

    No man they're both rated at the engine.

    Golf GTI Mk6 = 207hp @ crank
    MazdaSpeed3 Gen2 = 263 @ crank

    Pretty much the only time you get HP rated at the wheels is when the car is put onto a chassis dyno, manufacturers almost never publish HP@wheels as people would just be disappointed with the numbers.

    I think the most HP you can get out of a mazdaspeed3 engine SAFELY, without upgrading the internals of the engine is like ~300 at the wheels. To do that you need a tune, cold air intake, downpipe, catback, and a fuel pump upgrade..

    i know for sure the 200 hp GTI is rated at the wheels, i just checked and mazdaspeed3 is crank hp, so these two cars are closer than you think, the GTI is dumbed down quite a bit, thats why with some tuning/reprogramming they can achieve amazing results.

    Please show me where VW says its rated 200HP at the wheels, because i know that engine is rated 207hp at the crank and you definitely lose more than 7hp on the way to the ground.

    Ok so then VW is underrating its engines for some reason, I think I've read some german cars are like that (dunno why). That engine is actually making a lot more HP than its rated at. Pretty cool
