+2 Boost

It is true. The ebst way to do after market tuning is a slight increase. There are a few companies that make the software upgrades for the GTI and S3 that boost 30HP and 40 Torque. The purchase a high pressure fuel pump to handle the boost and you will be fine. It is not overstressing the engine, of course the driver should not stay in redline the whole time either!
Its not an expensive upgrade and will make you fall in love with your car all over again.
