2012 170 CR diesel tuning

Featured Replies

So after a remap, which claims to make 200(ish)bhp, where do you go next?

Have any tuners gone beyond that yet?

I mean proper power gains through engine/turbo work, not just bolting an exhaust on to claim a few extra bhp.

Say by to the DPF!

Bye DPF.

Now what? :)

I'd have thought so, particularly as that is a new turbo, which although different on the 170 will be removed anyway!

If you're looking for significantly more power it's big money and you've probably bought the wrong car. You can remove the DPF and go to stage 2 and get 215 to 220bhp but I suspect you're looking for more than that.

Why cant he just swap the turbo for something more manly and tune it accordingly?! Personally Id give Shark Performance a ring. :)

Like I said big money. Personally I wouldn't waste my time tuning a diesel past stage 1, it's not worth it in my opinion.

Swap engine from your fun car into this :-)

Interesting...

Not a squeak from any tuning houses. Large or Small.

So nobody has done this yet then?

Give Simon at Central VW AUDI a call, he really knows how to get every last bit from an engine, he also makes specialist manifolds etc.

He had a seriously fast MK 2 diesel golf he ran at santa pod, it was also in fast ford magazine as it would reach 100mph and stop faster than an escort cosworth at the time.

A twin turbo 5 cylinder Audi engine mid mounted in a sirroco and I think he is making a G60 golf shell into an all wheel drive powered by a TTRS engine. Give him a call or email

Just seen this. Mikko has worked with a 170CR with a GT22 turbo some time ago, I think the limits were reached at around 240-250hp. Bigger injectors needed and at the time no one did them, it would be an interesting project now as more parts would be available for the choosing.

Surely that would be enough bhp as you'd have maybe 350 - 380 lb ft of torque to go with it.

I doubt my DSG g'box would take any more.

I seem to remember that car was a DSG. It isn't something I know much about as it was a project in Finland.

I keep finding myself looking at DSG CR170 TDI Octavias. I miss my Octavia.

Whats a stage 2 De-DPF CR170 graph like compared to a stock?

Is this the same engine? : http://www.facebook....80442923&type=1

Essentially, yes.

It's the 140CR, the CR170 is mostly the same with a different turbo.

If it helps at all we can offer an Awesome Stage 1 remap for the CR 140/170 engines which costs £299.00 inc VAT.

At the moment we do not offer any DPF deletes, mainly from having a few cars in the workshop that had a running fault that turned in to a complete and utter nightmare to diagnose due to XYZ tuner greatly changing the tuning of the ECU to make it work. So a fault that would have taken 1-2 hrs to sort ended up taking 3 days due to the DPF being deleted.

I will say however that the fault was unrelated to the DPF being removed.

Thanks Mike, but I was looking for something with a little more zip. :)
