Hi there,
I have a 1998 T4 Transporter 1000 SWB 1.9TDi and am guessing it is the lowly 68hp motor...
I recently hired an LT with a 109hp engine...wow!
Driving mine is now like driving through treacle...
What would be the best way to increase power?
Superchips look interesting as it is clean, quick & easy but a 25% increase would only take me to the equivalent of a 88hp model - should I consider replacing my 68hp with the 88hp engine or greater?
As I see the 1.9 TDi comes with various power outputs (up to 150hp) would it be a straightforward job to swap the engine out?
I guess I would need the ECU from the higher output motor - is anything else needed?
WOuld I use the original gearbox and/or would the driveshafts match up?
Any other hints/tips/suggestions etc. would be much appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
