Gtd

There are still a handful around new for sale. If you are flexible with spec then you should get something.

Thanks Steve,Russ and tsi guy.. a great help,will take the advise, i am in Provincial Vic-will know do a "u turn" and talk no's tomorrow look at two GT TDIs next week, and make a decision on Tuesday, would prefer 125kw 08 than base tdi 09 if costs comparable.(might have to accept black however). Your input is really appreciated!

The may 09 motor magazine mentions a 152kw twin turbo GTD... hmm, so is it one or two turbos? Minigolf?? ...

Motor also mentions an "R20T" with 195kw, which makes me think they have no idea what they're talking about..

Haven't heard anything about a twin-turbo GTD. Although 152kW is a transposition of 125kW???

In regards to the R20T, that naming has been ruled out (for the Golf, at least), but there are plans for a GTI (model name yet to be decided) running Audi S3 engine/drivetrain. This model will replace the R32.

Couldn't find anything about a twin turbo GTD, and it would appear that the main differences between the current GT TDI and the GTD will be the CR engine with slightly better economy and I would imagine a bit more refinement over the PD engine. I did read somewhere on the forum that VW were apparently considering a twin turbo diesel which would have pretty much removed the low rev turbo lag in the present model, but it may have just been talk. I guess time will tell, and who knows what surprises VW may have in store, of course whether we will see them in Australia is another story.

At this stage the twin turbo GTD engine is a rumour, but has been reported a few places, as well as in the Autumn 2008 VW magazine owners get where they interview the VW engineer behind it all. I hope it eventuates as well, but given the current climate, and poor car sales, I'm not so sure about it happening here, for a while anyway. Little doubt car salesmen are saying it won't happen, as they both don't know AND want to sell what they HAVE.

Post 15 in this thread for the link I found...

Yeah, sorry, should have said that I was talking about the "r20t" name bit being wrong... maybe I'm nit-picking but I would have thought Motor would be on the ball.

Does VAG make a twin turbo diesel four for any other application? Would hate to see VW being outgunned by the new Hyundai tt diesels

Haha, I had a feeling that was what you meant.

AFAIK VW have made a few experimental TT 4 cyl TDIs, but so far haven't released them for general sale in any production vehicles.

Keen on GTD get a GT Sport TDI

For those of you salivating about the GTD, go buy a second hand GT Sport TDI They have similar power spec to that reported on forthcoming GTD if it ever comes to OZ

UNLESS you want to hop it up. Common rail offers a HUGE advantage for powerups, as it can control the injection and mixing of fuel so much better. Gale Banks states another 25-30% is possible with mechanical injection, whereas common rail offers a sizeable 60%. It's ALL about the mix.

Also I thought the topic had turned to a possible twin turbo, which would be massively different to drive, no lag!
