Lynsey Posted June 15, 2003 Report Share Posted June 15, 2003 Seeing as I'm thinking for the future about having my diesel tuned to 95bhp I was just wondering whether anyone on here has done it before ??? And if so whats the conclusion ??? Worth the money? Did u declare it insurance wise.....?Be grateful if anyones got advice :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynsey Posted June 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 Ok so I'm kinda getting the impression that folks thinks its a good idea to tune it :cool: Do I therefore take the hint that `no-one` else has done it yet? ??? I suppose tdi's are abit `out-numbered` round here :sigh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan VW Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 u sure? http://www.tdiclub.com/links/tdivendors.html - thats a good crowd, send them a mial and see if they have any info.R emial superchips. See its harder to tune a Sdi than a Tdi, cos Tdi has the turbo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted June 16, 2003 Report Share Posted June 16, 2003 I know its harder to tune it... and harder to find stuff for this bloody engine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupo TDI Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 Should be right... style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Amazing little car, though! The GTi is based on the 3L, `body-wise`.So, as I post once in a while here I say hello to the ones who don't know me style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Linsey: as you can see, I've got a TDi too style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Geat engine I must say! Have 52000 kms right now, and no problems at all!For the tuning I would get a `superchips-style` tuning; please stay away from these `tuning-boxes` style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> A proper chip, adjusted on a dyno/rolling road will fit perfectly to your engine. I hope I will do it sometimes...because you get loads of torque too so you get really pushed in your seat style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
