Anyone upping the power on a GTI without supporting major upgrades to cooking, brakes and clutch is just asking for trouble IMO

Appreciate the feedback on this as those APR gains look incredible. But if the foundation is no bueno, then all you do is accelerate reduced reliability even further.
I am wondering about the new MkVII GTI as that EA888 engine with its new "larger turbo" looks interesting, BUT will it hold. I guess the first steering recall on this GTI has already set the VW trend?
