1.9tdi1 105bhp

Hi guys.

I know this relates to the mk2 but is it a close relation to the mk1 vrs, just with different injectors and turbo etc.

Sorry if this has been asked before, I tried to search but came up blank.

Thanks

So what's the question?

[V5-Steve]

What are the differences in the engine between the 1.9 in the vrs and the 1.9 in the mk2.

[sepulchrave]

The turbo, injectors and the mapping basically, yours is an updated PD100 with the improved EGR system from the later BLT engined VRS, yours will remap to about 140 BHP.

[V5-Steve]

Thanks for clearing that up. So really different turbo, injectors and mapping could take it up to nearing 160/170bhp.

[sepulchrave]

Yes, but that's a lot of work and expense, you'd probably need a clutch and flywheel as well, then the brakes and suspension wouldn't be good enough for the extra poke either, just get it remapped for now.

[V5-Steve]

It is I realise, brakes would be uprated when I get it mapped. Thanks for your help, just need to get looking
