Yeah better to get the 2.5 than the gti. It only has 30hp less and has an extra cylinder.

[shiftyvw]

Not nessesarily. If you're like me and like to mod your cars the GTI is the only choice. 2.5's are tough to mod, and without a serious build you're not going to get close to the numbers a chipped 2.0 will make. even the MPGs are better on a 2.0T. Having said that, the 2.5 is a great base engine with good power and reliability.

how much more hp u gain?

[shiftyvw]

.0000000008

=D

It's just for fun sounds, not power.

did you just remove the resonator and have the muffler shop replaced it with normal piping?

[shiftyvw]

Yep. $25

[kkoontz28]

alright you can get the ecm flashed/chipped and put out around 260 hp and around the same in torque.. and the 2.5 is waaay more reliable than the 2.0t.. jus saying

Hey nice car. I own a 08 Rabbit and my engine jumps an extra 500 rmp at higher rpms. (3700+) Is that normal for rabbits to do that? And yes my foot is all the way off the gas when I shift. But does your car do that??

what are you people talking about. A rabbit compared to a GTI. WTF. Even if you turbo a rabbit it will only keep up with GTI. What are you people reading. Save that money and you will get a GTI. People swear like they know what they are talking about. Close your mouths.

[hittersean14]

does kia make a 911 model of anything. cause i know your not talking about a porsche.

[hittersean14]

I have 07 MK5 GTI. Your talking crazy. spoken by a person who cant get gti. if you can, theres no question. the money you put into a rabbit will never compare to the money you put into a GTI. APR stage 1 program is $599 that puts HP at 250 and TQ at 270. Try to put $600 into a rabbit. you will maybe get 10-15 hp.

better sound for the 2.5 i think !!! that's my personnal reason to get a bunny and not a GTI

[ericb11211]

shit i wish i have a mkV:( ive been into modding cars ever since i was like 5, now im 18 and stuck with a truck-_-

[CurtMattack]

So is this striaight piping through the whole exhaust?

[tpharris8587]

I had a rabbit and I traded it in for a gti, loved it ever since with no regrets. plus the gti has more potential and its a 6 speed which is more beneficial to me than a 5 speed

True 2.5 is a really great engine choice compared to the competition. I don't have a car just yet but i'm plannin on an '08 2.5. Which I want to mod the hell out of lol.
