My GT220D Sport ** updated 23/6/09 **
Rocket:
I too have a 140GTTDI like AudiA4Cab!!
I'm in exactly the same situation.....need more power!!! lol
I've already got the Green Panel Filter and Bluefin Remap to get the car to 187bhp and 295lb/ft torque, and next on the list, being fitted next Thursday are the Eibach Sportlines and Milltek (resonated with downpipe option so turbo back in effect) so hoping for near 200bhp at least!!
And as for 6 weeks waiting time AUDIA4CAB, I'm only waiting 2!
My main concern is the wheels catching on the arches, but I think one of the problems I've found out is that I've a burst shock on the NS which should have been replaced today, but the dealer ordered new springs instead (but I called up last Friday when the springs were to be fitted and said I was going to lower the car on new springs but needed the shock replaced first under warranty, which reminds me that they said a new spring and shock had to be fitted under warranty, best call back the dealers and confirm they haven't sent it back!!)
Anyway, I've always wondered what the difference is between the 140 and 170 (apart from a DPF) to get that extra power and have been told its injectors, is that right or just a bigger turbo and intercooler? or both? anyone got facts?
had to put my pennies on here too.... :smiley:
JPC:
i think there is a bigger turbo if i remeber correctly

Having had a look, other than the DPF the 170's run piezo injectors and a bigger turbo, other than that they are the same.

Just looked on ETKA and its took me ages but from what I can see the BMN engine 125kW-170bhp has different part numbers on the engine block, cylinder head and cover, turbo, intercooler and injectors so I would say probably not in a big way but its a different engine to the BKD/AZV engine103kW-140bhp

I thought the part numbers were only different in they way that they denote the higher bhp/kW
The C/R and pistons/rods ect are the same aren't they ?
The I/C measure the same
