as it happens, the gti6 is specified with the same battery as the diesel models anyway, and you wont fit anything bigger in that battery box.

I would still say that was retrofitted tbh, as it's far overspecced for the car.

High compression does'nt help much either. Fit the best battery you can afford and avoid cheap unbranded types FTW.
