Don't worry, you won't get anywhere near 220 bhp without forced induction, most you will ever get on sensible mods will be about 185ish bhp.
Thats sound,tbh everytime I thought about chasing more ooomph,190 was always the figure that I wanted in order to keep a good power/handling balance,as I dont have megabucks to play with,and the Apex suspension on the GTi at present is surprisingly good,has shown many a hot hatch up on roundabouts and twistys.you mentioned 185 being an easily achieved figure,what would be needed to get there?
