Hi !!
I was looking some VW Golfs in local car shop here in Finland ..
(.. the west-siberian country ;-)
Anyway they were selling these SDI cars quite cheapely ..
Also the SDI , TDI & intercooled TDI seems to
be the same engine ( also the datas at VW-web
seem to confirm this ) ..
SO is there any diffrences inside the engines
and is ECU the same ?!?! (OK - I know that
the compression ratio is lower in 115hp one ..)
I was thinking if it would be easy to add the
turbo & intercooler ( and remap the fuel/boost-
maps in the ECU ..) !!
Also the compression ratio could be lowered by
modifying the pistons & head ..
(Also water-sprayer would lower the effective
peak-pressure -> same effect as the lower compression ..)
So would the internals last ..
(Are they weaker in SDI ??)
Greetings,
