PD 130 injectors on a 1.4 TDi...

Hi people, first post on this forum - been a long time reader though! I bought my first car (53 reg Polo 1.4 SportTDi with 23k miles) about a month ago. Although it's a polo, I thought I'd ask here as I've seen quite a few examples of very well tuned 1.4 TDis on here like nfbr's old one :)

I've never heard of anyone putting PD 130 injectors on a 1.4 TDi (maybe for a good reason?)...but anyway, I'm almost certain that they'll fit (correct me if I'm wrong). Two questions for you:

First of all, would the engine be able to run without smoking with the standard turbo, intake and exhaust?

Secondly, would it produce any noticable difference in performance, or just more smoke and less economy? If the former, what sort of figures would I be looking at with a chipped car? I know with everything else stock, around 108 BHP seems to be the norm, so would somewhere around 120 BHP be achievable?

If you'd be able to give me an answer for a stock car and a car with these parts which is about to have a custom remap, I'd really appreciate it :)

Finally, with or without these injectors, would a PD 160 Cupra intake hose be worth it (seeing as they're now £70+) on a generic remap? What about a custom one with the injectors I'm asking about?

Many thanks!

al(NFBR) figured out that the 1.4 is a 1.9 with a cylinder chopped off and it is a pd lump so they are probably the same.

unless you find out if the different stages of tune for the 1.9 use different parts and not just different maps

Well, I do know for a fact that the PD100 and PD115 engines use the same injectors, whilst the PD130 and PD150s use ones with slightly larger nozzles :)

Since a 1.4 TDi is essentially a 1.9 TDi minus a cylinder, I'd assume they use the same injectors as a PD100/115. ie. 3 cylinders vs. 4 = 3/4 of the power if you get what I mean :)

Thanks!

Ash
