Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Bugger - I can't comment back on the other thread - oh well.
Yes, the GT has been returned to the owner, the ECU's are now "unlocked" for calibration, we hope to have the APR Calibrators here in Brisbane Early next year.

Aren't the ECUs for the GT and the GT Sport different?Originally posted by Guy_H View PostBugger - I can't comment back on the other thread - oh well.

Because I understood that they ARE different.

The GT TDI we already do with Oettinger
The GT 1.4TSI sport is the one we are working now!Comment

it's been rumoured the 1.4TSI may be the donk in the next gen Polo GTI too (i think the 2.0TFSI from the current golf v gti would be asking a bit much). doing the R&D now will save you a lot of "when when when" stress from Polo customers if that is in fact the engine going in.Originally posted by Guy_H View Post

Its a great little engine - I hope the costs & complexity don't get it axed from the lineup!Comment

^ someone please delete Guy's post. Don't give them ideas.
Hopefully the 1.4 litre aspect (that size is something to do with EU regs???) will mean that twin-charging this type of engine will actually cost VW less in the long run when it comes to total emissions. (And what they have to pay for them in the EU).Comment

Cool to see this engine appearing in a few new models from VW (and Audi... and Seat?) lately.
Good time of year to do some hot weather testing on the new map, huh Guy?
Where are the APR calibrators coming from?
Aus at this time of year could be a welcome relief for most folks from the Northern Hemisphere.Comment

"Cool to see this engine appearing in a few new models from VW (and Audi... and Seat?) lately."
Like the TT!:
Edit: ...and the updated Skoda (Euro version) and apparently VW plans to introduce a 1.2 TSI shortly.
Looks like the latest 1.4 is yet another (less powerful) version - 10hp it seems.
So at least there won't be just one market of TSI owners (GTs & GT Sport) seeking upgrades!Last edited by BarneyBoy; 12-01-2009, 07:22 PM.2007 Golf GT | DSG | TR | roof | iPod rubbish | R line fog grilles | R satin mirror caps | R pedals | R console trim | colour coded GTI valences | R32 OrmanytsComment

coming in from Alabama shortly!
We have just had APR Germany here for several days, Ralf left - 20 C in Berlin, so he loved the QLD weather

Guy,
I was talking to my mechanic the other day who said that the 1.4TSI's supercharger could be altered to not switch off at it's rpm limit (around 2,500rpm from memory). this would mean that it would be twin charged from around 1,900rpm up through the rev range.
any thoughts on this or has anyone else heard otherwise?

Can't imagine the plumbing would allow that to work...Originally posted by [-Polo GTI-] View Post"One art please!" --->http://benno.redbubble.comComment

I haven't heard of this but don't think I'd want the supercharger spinning at an engine speed 7000rpm x gearing factor (anyone know what that is?).Originally posted by [-Polo GTI-] View Post
I'd be interested to see it engaged from 0rpm upto it's current cutoff point regardless of engine load, ie always engaged from idle to approx 4000rpm.
I'd hate to see what it would do to the economy though

Would be easy enough to do, just leave the electric supercharger pulley always hooked up and the bypass butterfly off, but I figure once the turbo is really getting into boost, the supercharger would be more of a restriction as it's efficiency dropped off and couldn't keep up supply to the turbo, and then all it would be is an air heater. Would probably boost the mid range and kill the top end.
If I had bought the planned TSI I'd be looking into different pulleys / gearing to make the blower work harder when it does, and get a chip / flow mods for the turbo. Oh yeah and DEFINATELY increase the intercooling given the dual heating going on!
Good options for you 1400cc'ers!
