Rev Limter on GTi and R32
neg:
Is it not true that when you change up on the paddle but then keep hold of the paddle it will rev higher... though I heard somewhere that this is how you do a DSG on the rollers?

On my 1.4 TSi its high reving and cuts out at about 7600rpm
Thought after about 6000rpm it loses its power.
Just interesting to know :smiley:

The super+turbo-charged 1.4 has quite a big turbo for a small engine (to get the biggish bhp figures) so can hold boost until quite high revs. Hence the supercharger to fill the hole at the bottom end.
The 122bhp turbo only TSI has a smaller turbo.
So in basic terms, the super+turbo-charged engine should re-map really well due to the large-ish turbo.
Okay that was maybe a little off topic but hey ho..... :smiley:

Pretty much but the box will still upshift around 6700rpm...

1.4TSI remaps to just over the 200bhp mark. I drove a 170bhp version when they first came out and I was quite impressed (was in the Golf GT).
anyway back on topic :wink:
