johnyardley Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Hi,Has anyone got experience of Allards in Gloucester/ Monmouth who offer a large replacement intercooler and remap to produce 140bhp and 280 lb/ft torque?Does anyone know the max torque this transmission/ gearbox/ clutch this car can manage?I would appreciate any advice.Great forum !!CheersJohn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 No, but very interested in that style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":twisted:" border="0" alt="twisted.gif" /> I have heard that the standard remap of a TDi of 105bhp and 198lbs/ ft can knacker the clutch fairly quickly so I would imagine that that much power would surely shred it.

Tigz™ Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 isnt the TDi box the same box that was in the 5 speed GTi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 The GTi didn't have anywhere near 280 lb/ft torque though did it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16vpolo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 that LE MANS car is mad.... it was featured in racecar engineering mag.. can make 1000nm of torque.. and 800 bhp.. they set it up for way less so it didnt kill the gearbox...

Neiler Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Id say the turbo would go with those firgures mentioned. And 2bh i think those figures are BS, there is noway they would get 140 brake with a remap and an intercooler. And yes i think even with the map ud get some slippage.

Altern8 Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 has anyone fitted a bigger i/c on a tdi yet what difference did it make ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 bigger intercooler will give you more air cooling which should make it feel much perkier liek your driving it on a cold morning compared to a warmer day, depending on size and fuling map it can be worth `10-20bhp` just by increasing the size, there's a monster intercooler on mine about 2 square feet in area, around 700 notes though if you hole it apparently.
