Limits of stock fuel system?

What is the upper limit of the 7R stock fuel system? I’ve seen some conflicting reports, including the R having a different pump than the GTI?

I’m trying to determine a reasonable goal without having to add MPI (at least for now).

Go to APR's website. www.goapr.com

They only show Stage 2. I believe you can fuel enough without port injection to break the car. I think you can still get 450-500 HP without port injection. They use to list Stage 3 without port injection.

All I see there is that their MPI system is required for their turbo upgrade. Nothing about the limits of the stock fuel system.

So 400whp should be doable on the stock system with 93?

I was more referring to using 93 versus race gas or meth

450whp on pump gas. no meth. yes. but it’s pushing the limits of the stk fuel system.
400whp on pump gas. no problem. with the right setup.
my buddy with a hybrid made 390 whp and my buddy with an a3 made 450+ whp. both with completely stk fuel systems.
both of which are doing the precision mpi kit for this year.
if you want 400whp stk will do it. if you want 450+ whp it’s best to add mpi for reliability to the system.

Thanks for the info! I’m looking at hybrid turbos and 400whp looks to be a good goal for a street car on 93. I just wanted to make sure the fuel system was up to.

How much extra headroom can we expect with LPFP/HPFP upgrades?
