Hey Folks,
Though I'm new here, I've not seen another link that chronicles the difference between a 140hp 2.0 Common Rail TDI Engine and a 170hp 2.0 Common Rail TDI Engine (VW TDI vs. GTD). My reasoning here is to document how owners of US spec MK6 Golf TDI’s can effectively upgrade their cars to stock euro spec GTD as far as engine components go. I have been skulking through forms for a while and this is what I know on the subject.
From my understanding the difference lays (for sure) in the Turbo and (possibly) in the fuel injection system. I’m also of the understanding that swapping the turbo in the TDI for the Turbo from the GTD isn’t just an easy bolt on. Does anybody know which stock parts to swap on the Turbo? Also, I have heard the fuel injection systems are somehow different on the GTD, but I saw somewhere that the injectors on the 140CR and 170CR were the same, does anybody have any reliable sources on this?
Also, if anybody know any non ECU tuning upgrades that that surpass stock GTD engine performance please by all means chime in.
Finally as far as engine tuning goes, does anybody know if there is a difference between tuning 140CR TDI and a 170TDI? I’m sure our friends in the Audi (8P) A3 170 CR TDI world may be able to give some pointers on this.
