|  VRS V's Standard engines question Sorry for this really stoopid question  -What has been changed in order to make the diesel VRS engine what it is? I assume that it is basically exactly the same lump as the standard 2.0 TDI but what has been changed replaced? Has it been given a larger Turbo or simply been re-mapped like the off-the-shelf re-mapping software available today? I suppose the same has been done between both the diesel & petrol variants? Regards, W. |

| Re: VRS V's Standard engines question I believe it has a bigger turbo and that the ECU has been remapped and maybe changed entirely.

| Re: VRS V's Standard engines question also pd130 injectors instead of the pd100 ones as they are far stronger |

| Re: VRS V's Standard engines question Thanks all for the info, yes I am talking about Mk2, so what with the different injectors & larger Turbo would I be right in thinking that by changing the mapping software on the ECU & "fooling" the standard 140Hp engine into into providing more power 140-170hp in this case would it not be fair to suggest the current Turbo & Injectors are going to be stressed beyond there actual manufacturers limits possibly resulting in failure sometime later? Or am I talking Bollox? |
