Although the brand new eighth Volkswagen Golf GTI is not long in coming, the stretch for the current one is not finished yet. This is evident from the performance of Mountune. They know how to take the sporty Golf’s ability to a new level.
The seventh generation of the Volkswagen Golf now passes the baton to the eighth. The GTI version of the new Golf will only take a while. Mountune responds by boosting the outgoing GTI once again. The normally 230 hp GTI crosses all borders after a power cure from that company. The Clubsport (S), the TCR and even the R compete in terms of power against the GTI with Mountune’s ‘Stage 2’ treatment. No less than 385 hp and 510 Nm are obtained from the 2.0 TSI.
To make that possible, Mountune has, among other things, mounted the turbo of the Golf R, adjusted the engine management and replaced gaskets for more robust ones. According to the tuner, the whole has been sufficiently tested to guarantee that everything will remain intact. If the driver wants to save the technology and use less power, this can be set via a control panel. All this costs at least € 2,350.
