MKIV GT TDI 130 :cool:
not that i'm biased at all :laugh: :laugh:
-
Rhyso, why 130 over 150, in your opinion?
-
You could get a nice MK4 Golf GTi 1.8T for that money. Doubt you'd find a PD130 for under £4,000 though; that would be my second choice mind.

no real reason although the 130 is a little less laggy due to the smaller turbo :nerd: but then the 150 is stronger top end - a remap sorts out that problem though :afro:
all depends if you want to tune it as the 150 has the front mounted intercooler but the boost pipes are a terrible design :sad:
-
After a re-map isn't the 150 going toh ave more power than the re-mapped 130? Or does it not work that way?
Sorry, thread hijack! Either the 1.8T or a TDI would be cracking choices mate :smiley:
-
Thanks
What sort of price , / mileage would i be looking at

yes
my 150 made around 190 bhp after its superchips remap, a healthy 130 should see between 170 and 180 but wont make as much torque as the 150 either, still bloody good tho!! although i find it all comes in a bit quick (the power :laugh:)
Im sure the fuel pump and injectors on the 150 are uprated over the 130 version model aswell?
-

don't think so mate - the engine is pretty much identical apart from the turbo and the intercooler :undecided:

not what i was told, although i was talking about my 115 which rechipped puts about 145bhp out...I was offered the larger turbo and intercooler and thought straight bolt on and at £1500 for brand new i wasn't about to ask questions but then got told injectors were def and somehting else but can't remember what :embarassed:
-
yeah the guys at well lane told me the injectors and fuel pump were deffo uprated on the 150's over the lesser models, i assumed they were all the same untill they told me this
-
Haha....No offence to anyone here to catch your topic off guard.
But if someone could answer my question on price range for the 130 and 150.
Dont get me wrong this talk o more power is great but i cant do it without knowing a price range for these vehicles :P
-
you will deffinatly get a 130 or 150 tdi for that money next year :smiley: just look hard and stay away from the over pricers they are only worth that kind of cash dont pay over 4k. i heard of a guy that paid just over 4k for a 54 plate mk5 tdi at the local car auction.also at the same auction a 54 diesel ford focus sold for 2.5k

nice looking car

Hi matey,
Are you lookin for a petrol or diesel?
I only ask because in the few cars suggested you have a mk4 tdi which will deliver 50mpg+ then on the flip side the M3 evo which you woukld peobably struggle to get in the mid 20 mpg's??
If you are lookin for somethin a bit sporty that wont cost the earth to run have you considered a Honda integra type R? a couple of my mates have owned them in their time and they are amazing cars and bullet proof!!
If you do want a diesel i think VAG is the way to go though!
-
Thats alot of miles on a M3 though wouldnt you say???
Petrol , im not a Diesel fan.
Is there a big difference between the TDI and the GTI in the mk4s?
What year integra?? I was llooking at a couple of them or even a prelude . But i thought insuracne would hit me harder than a mk4?
-
for about 4 grand you'd be lookin at a 96 import integra, maybe a uk 98 spec with high milage!
I used to own a import prelude vtec, it was a wicked car, can pick them up for peanuts now too!! insurance isn't too bad if you shop about!!
i think the mk4 TDi's are probably better than you'd imagine, most of the petrol models are a little under powered but the diesels, especially the PD, have bundles of torque!! The 130 TDi is supossed to be the better of the lot .
-
For that money 1.8T gets my vote but it really is all about going out there and driving them for yourselves to see what one suits you and which one you like best. After all its everyone to their own.
-
You can get an early Mk4 1.8T easily for £2k but for that your looking at high milage.
Realistically, you would be better off paying £4k for a 1.8t just to get a lower milage newer one IMO :smiley:
