FWIW, the Stage I APR flash to 250hp will probably keep you plenty happy. At GTI with 250whp is at least a manageable amount of crazy.

Agreed.
The Mazdaspeed3 has ~263hp and limits power to 230hp in first and limits power in second as well. A co-worker has one and it is crazy with torque steer. I hate to be dumping on people getting more power but 340hp is just overkill on a GTI. You'd be better off shooting for ~250hp and putting money into better tires/brakes/whatever for better performance. Otherwise you're just lifing your engine and drive train for some power you'll never use without losing traction. Or just get a WRX and boost the shit out of that. At least then you'll be able to use the power.
