Sadly that's not mine James. But 518bhp in a sub 1 tonne car on track would be a little bit excessive.

Oh no, hang on.

Lend me £14K mate

My most sincere and humble apologies mb

You can pretty much match bhp to ft lbs of torque in a tuned 1.8T - so a 300bhp 1.8T will push out around 300 ft lbs of torque.

Is that sufficient clarification for you sir? Great

Ops! Didn't read it fully, think the 518bhp just kept standing out!!!

Anyway, you know it will only be a matter of time really before you get your mk2 close to that level!

Got a quid you could have, just need 13,999 other mates to offer the same and ya sorted!
