The stage II engine is 100% streetable and even passed a smog test and it runs on pump gas.. It's easier to drive than stock with the much higher torque and flat torque curve. Red line is reduced a bit which keeps the fun factor up without running 7,000 RPM all the time, and that helps longevity.

It is rated at 350HP at the flywheel, the test vehicle has wide track tires and was losing some power to a newly built tranny with LSD that was still breaking in.

Few people have the ability to run these engines on an engine dyno and a chassis dyno :-)

Here is a comparo between this FSI 3.6 Stage II and a hopped up 3.4 in my 911. The 911 engine has seen our IMS retrofit, a dozen EVO flashes and an EVO cold air intake and it makes 15HP more at the wheels than it did bone stock..
