Exactly, EA113 with a K04 turbo found only in the GTI ed30-35, S3, TTs, Leon Cupra and mk6 golf R. EA113 is also utilised with a smaller turbo - K03, found on mk5 GTI, TT , A3, EOS, Passat, Leon, Octavia and quite a few more.

As an owner of a bog standard Mk.5 GTI, it being an all-rounder is why I love it. I don't have the money or garage space for a car exclusively for fun driving but I didn't want to just drive a boring daily, so the GTI fits perfectly for me. My one's a manual too which probably makes it a more involving drive than the DSG.
@PJD4875 Жыл бұрын
They're not as exciting or as fun as a civic type r in my opinion but the golf is such a good in-between option of fun and a great daily, just not as cool as a type r to me

You need to get your hands on a Mk7. Tuning wise they're incredible. A GTI with a couple bolt ons with stock turbo opens it up for over 210wkw easily. Get it on e85 with a big turbo they can reliably push up to 370wkw without opening the motor.

I've had one for 1 and a half years now (6spd manual though not the auto) and still love it, not as powerful as the VW or as quick in a straight line but around 400kg's lighter which is very significant in cars this size and great for where I live full of windy roads in the Adelaide hills. When I bought it I'd been driving commodores for 15 years and the little mean machine boosterjet in this chassis was an entire universe of difference and fun lol
