In the US, typically we see 87, 89, and 93 octane available at the pumps, using the (R+M)/2 formula to calculate the octane. Are you saying you can get 98 octane 'race fuel' at the pump where you live? 2 - 600hp wheels is typically referred to as 600rwhp. 3 - do you already roadrace? which tracks? 4 - do you have an auto or a 6spd? If you're planning on making 600rwhp with (for example, 93 octane (R+M)/2) pump gas, then you'll need to supplement with alcohol injection. There's really no way to do this with a 3L engine and 93 octane fuel. Honestly, it's doubtful that you could do this reliably with 98 octane race fuel as well, especially if you're using a turbo small enough to roadrace. For roadracing, you need a relatively small turbo so that you don't have to deal with terrible lag coming out of the corners... Assuming you'll be supplementing with a methanol kit, you'll need to budget about $5k for your turbo kit, and then about another $2K or so for a proper, professional install of the turbo and the meth injection kit. Based on what you've told me so far, a 67mm turbo should do the trick.

You'll need:
new clutch new injectors 750cc at least standalone ecm or piggybacks(terrible idea) someone to tune it. Brakes and suspension, stock is not sufficient for those power levels, no matter what a magazine says, your doubling the stock output and the car will act alot different than stock. and much more but those are the main things i can think off hand

Again, a brake/suspension upgrade depends on the application. The oem bakes & suspension roadraces just fine, even with a single turbo. This is a proven combo in One Lap of America, and other roadracing events. My interest here is to provide advice for a cost-effective set of upgrades. Sure you could blow/waste a bunch of hard-earned $$$ on big brakes, penske shocks, sway bars, etc., but is it really necessary? Until I know that he's running (for example) better than 1:40s at Road Atlanta, the oem brakes (with carbotech pads), and oem suspension are JUST FINE. If you don't mind me asking kwnate, please provide some sort of first-hand experience for challenging me on this point. Have you personally roadraced an mkiv tt with the oem suspension?

Maybe I'm challenging you because no one on this entire website knows what they are talking about, it's the first forum people join until they find the real ones with real experts with real world experience. Am I not suppose to challenge a comment that I disagree with? Are you immune to these challenges due to your moderator status here? Is my opinion not valid because I don't have a magazine to reference or because you don't agree? I'm sorry, build the car to safely handle the power, then apply the power. Don't cheap out either, do it right the first time. If you want 600rwhp to last and be reliable you need to dump alot of hard earned cash into. I'm used to mkiii guys being cheap, guess the mkiv's are starting to see that too...

![]() However, I can see your points - for a serious roadracer, upgrading those parts could shave some time off, and the cage is mandataory at some events/tracks. If you want to advise sezar to throw in some kybs or koni shocks and some sway bars, and maybe even some brake ducts, sure I'll agree with you. However, the complete suspension, brake caliper and roll cage makeover you suggest is unnecessary in the mkiv tt at 600rwhp for almost any/every scenario, imho. We may just have to agree to disagree here... *shrug*

You'll run out of fuel at about 550rwhp through a 6spd manual.
