Let me give you some reasons why Airtrek can't win.
- Overly heavy chassis. Once, someone weighed it and it was close to 1700kgs.
- Less efficient and slow gear change of INVECS II compared to Golf's twin clutch system.
- In stock, Airtrek puts out 160-170whp vs. 180-190whp of Golf's.
If your car is completely stock and wants to race with Golf, I suggest you to do the following:
1) Intake - change to K&N filter if possible, if you're still using FMIC, then swap the rubber pipes with steel piping to minimize loss of boost.
2) Ignition - ensure your plugs are in good condition
3) Exhaust - decat + less restrictive muffler
4) Fuel - fuel regulator
5) Turbo - boost controller
6) ECU - remapping dyno tune
If your engine is healthy, a good tuning can give you 220whp. Then you may stand a chance :) GOOD LUCK!

Yup.. that will be stage 2. Coupe with bigger turbo and FMIC, you can achieve around 260whp.get high camshaft and evo turbos sure can beat golf gti..
