APR $2k installed K04 Turbo will get you above a stock 225. Keep...
all the parts on your car. If you do the K04, then you might be pushing 245 hp with all your other goodies on. That should be pretty nice for a FWD TT being a few hundred pounds lighter than a quattro. Probably just a teensie bit lower in accelation than a slightly modded 225 at 265HP

It's not a skid plate.
*sigh*
The only thing that piece of plastic deflects is air & water. That said, removing it is a bad idea if you ever drive @ speeds over around 40mph for aerodynamic reasons.

The quarter mile acceleration time of a car that weighs 1400 pounds and has 120 horsepower is 13.211 seconds.
Faster than my TT! (once I get the engine back in)

40. Aerodynamics start to mess with things around 40 or 50.
That particular piece of plastic probably has more impact on gas mileage at those speeds than downforce, but it is still an impact.
