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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    revo chip for 103kw tdi takes it to 138kw
    revo chip for 125kw gt takes it to 157kw

    most other chips take the 103 to about 125 and the 125 to about 150

    apparently on the gt if you fit a new intake and exhaust the turbo can churn out 180 crank kw's... but i will know first hand sometime this year.

    oh and use the search feature

      You get two maps for the price and a hand held controller to flash the different maps into the car as you want to.
      Very good smooth power delivery.

          Slightly offtopic - when is it ok to chip/flash a TDI? From new or should you let the car 'settle-in' first?

            Personal choice - as there is no official "run in" period these days, its really just a comfort thing to run a car stock.

            We do several cars a month that have not even been pre delivered!

                All the "decent" HP increases and "names" are ECU reflash, but if you're worried about a POD my man, well an ECU is a MUCH bigger gamble warranty wise! One of the reason's I am taking my time..... but hey, I like the way you think!

                  Pod + reflash = some decent gruntle increase I'd expect?

                    I fitted an exhaust from the cat back to my GT TDI recently. It's a 2.5" tube job with no resonator and all the glass packing removed from the muffler. The guys who fitted it found it quite a challenge to get any kind of note from it. They've done the best they could but it's still barely noticeable. I'm sure it has made an improvement over the stock, more free flowing and not to mention the weight reduction, the stock job is huge.

                    Has anyone else out there fitted an exhaust to the TDI yet? What success have you had with producing a note from it?

                        from my search's on youtube the VW 4cyl diesel with an exhaust just sounds like a jet cos all you hear is turbo whistle....

                        ill be able to tell you sometime next year if i get any kind of note out of my TDI

                          You bought the wrong machine if you're looking for exhaust note!

                          Would you be able to hear it over the tractor rattle anyhow?
