BAM is still a 1.8t so you know, just runs lower compression pistons and 19mm wrist pins whereas the AGU run higher compression MAHLE pistons and 20mm wrist pins. In theory should see marginally better performance on the AGU because of the higher compression ratio, would be better torque delivery off boost.

higher compression for more low down torque but turbos usually run low compression so you get the power when your on boost (agu is a bit weird, but in a way that makes much more sense)

Well my 150 BHP AGU picks of rom 1500-1700rpm his more like 2500rpm but much much more dramatic and of course alot fast. with 265 bhp and around 265ft lbs not a surprise :D

Just a thougth as the AGU is alot older design( i know same basic engine) but I'm sure they update stuff all the time.I presume with the AGU VW realised it was over engineered for the power it was pushing.... So future engine codes where not as tuff

I've a K04 on an 1.8T AGU engine .... do between 20 - 35 mpg urban ..... obviously depending how I drive it.  Got an average of 35mpg on a 300 mile round trip at the weekend to Ultimate Dubs.  Car also has Revo Stage 1 remap, FMIC, Carbonio CAI so don't think that's too bad? :undecided:
