Having moved from an avensis 2.2diesel 150brake 240lbft, the1.2turbo feels well capable for its displacement. Have readVAG quote minimum figures. Can anyone enlighten on this. What could the output be without mods.

As an aside' has anyone had particular problems with corrida red chipping easily on the bonnet.

Thanks guys

I believe standard VAG engines tend to give a couple more PS than quoted - not another 10.  Maybe an extra 5%?

I have not seen RR readouts of the 86 bhp version, but I have seen RR readouts of the 105 giving about 120 bhp.....

Happy to be corrected..

Cheers guys. Would be interested to stick it on a RR. Dont suppose you know if dealers have facility to give me the outputs from their tech. I know they declined when asked to remap to 105 - yes , I know, should have bought the105 - was trying to be on a budget - and now regretting. In retrospect should have bought the Monte 105 DSG with one or two toys on. The 86 is still a cracking little engine tho'.

DSG has never been available on the Monte Carlo.

You should be able to get a straight power run from a rolling road for about £40-50.

 

I believe a remap/tuning box will give the same results irrespective of the base power (86/105)?  For example: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/267420-12-tsi-remaps-200/

Nope - otherwise I might have chosen one over the vRS..

Can I change my post to Elegance rather than Monte. :-)
