Re: Faster, more powerful VW Golf R
ABT is more renown for cosmetic & bodykit upgrades than anything else. To add another 40 hp to the R is a walk in the park. I reckon this is only a Stage 1 conversion. Any reputable UK's tuners can do that & most likely for less $. Anything up to another 100hp on the R is easily attainable.

Silly exhaust pipes, silly wheels and a silly gearbox... next.
