Saw a post on Facebook this morning. Vag motorsport in South Africa have put a hybrid turbo on a APR mapped S1 and got it up to 450 horses. Can you imagine what fun that will be

Very interested on how the driveshafts will hold out on this? Heard a few stories of S1s chewing driveshafts with a lot less power/torque than this!

See my car has just clocked up 12k with no clutch, gearbox or drives shaft issues. I had the remap at about 1600 miles
 
The standard engine is ment to be good for 500 as think someone said that there are some golf gti running 600 standard internals

Well that's good news then. I know the S3/Golf R engine has all the uprated stuff on but wasn't so sure about the S1 engine handling much.
 
That car will break an inner rear nearside cv joint, however I doubt we will hear about it when it does.

The new 525 turbo from TTE will fit it apparently, they've tuned their Golf R to 550ps with stock engine components. It is £3500 for the turbo new though! A 550ps S1 would be mental though!

The are now recommending upgraded valve springs with the TTE525R @ 550ps not sure about 450ps levels.

It is not speculation unless the inner near side cv joint is upgraded it will break. I know his because I am running 331 BHP and I have broken two already. @AGee

Blimey mate the S1's are turning out to be a headache lol. Saying that tho Alex the Area rep for here had to have a whole new gearbox on his S3 when he took it to 410 bhp. Luckily he got it under warranty instead of 6k price

It was Tonbridge Audi. They did it as a goodwill gesture as they said they couldn't prove his remap had caused the malfunction. Although he did say they haven't given him a warranty on the new box lol.
 
I'm running 320cv since june '15 and no problem to this join....i think i'm lucky xD

Yeah mine has been since Jan 15. Just clocked up 12k and seems to be ok. Might just be a waiting game lol

Did they give up with normal use, or on the track?
