Are VW about to increase the power output of the Golf GTI?

In this months Performance VW magazine (page 91) there's a running report by Ben Leach on the MK5 GTI. It mentions that he hopes to recieve delivery of a new GTI with 240bhp in January?

Anyone got any more news on this?

I'm sure I read a post on another forum from someone in Singapore or Hongkong,(I think!),who said they could specify a remapped GTI direct from the dealer. This would certainly tie in with the 240bhp figure. Perhaps there are plans afoot to launch an "STI" style version? You know, factory authorised upgrade...mmmm

Oettinger work closely with VW, so I would think that the two re-maps are rather similar?

I understand that whilst the Oettinger re-map figures on paper do not set the world alight, the codes from your own ECU are sent to Oettinger, the re-map is then based upon your orginal ECU codes. The result is a Golf with a very good torque and BHP power band even compared to the orginal!
