This is going to be the only circumstance I'll ever say this but it's probably easier for VW owners because they have a lot of different tuners involved in development. Being a VW owner I've never even thought of such things being strung together into one sentence. When time passes I'm sure there will be more tuning options. Even ross tech/ VAG-com is developing a tool to diagnose our cars. Which for you non VW guys is probably the best think you can buy for a VAG car.

I purchased my mini with hopes that there would be a lot of tuning options. I took into account what fueling bar/psi's the fsi motored gti's are pushing and it's really crazy and I don't see us being too far behind.

On another note, high horsepower means nothing if you can't get it to the ground. Evo 60 ft. times are going to be tough to beat for the average "boy racer." Lighweight parts or weight reduction helps considerably but partnering it with cutting good 60' times and learning shift points will help more than a stage whatever turbo.
