i highly doubt you will get over 250hp safely, and if you do, i doubt it will last long. the 2.0t is a crap engine. i personally wouldnt bother throwing money at it. if you do, the best and most important thing to do is change the pistons and rods for forged items, they are the weakest link and usually the first things to go. but if your going to spend that cash then you best off swapping for a good early 1.9 t4 engine and starting from there. otherwise i recommend staying near the 200hp mark if you plan on keeping the car for a little while. also, i seriously recommend staying away from manual boost controllers. they are a big no as they cause lean a/f mixture. the 2.0t is an extremely sensitive and delicate engine, it simply wont cope with it for long, unless your very lucky
