Why DERV is the future

[Jkctr]

Pretty inevitable with the title having the underlying meaning of the death of other fuels in the future i.e. Diesel being the number one choice.

Could have been worse, nearly ended up being a ctr vs gti thread. We haven't had one for a week

£2.5k? I reckon you could add a few more grand to that TBH. FMIC would be a must IMO. For a start the 150 pd has it so it must be needed higher up the scale, if your compressing alot of air it will get warm, plus the exhaust is cooking it through the turbo!


Are they able to adjust the torque curve through the map rhyso do you know?


I was following fenwicks build for a bit but came over here and started giving you lot grief instead... 


Certainly as you say, good for pushing the boundaries of diesel tuning. I remeber VW using the mk4 diesel golf in the rally stages, it was a first at the time!

So, even though diesel is for whimps, i'm quite interested in all this!!

all depends on the power you're pushing - i've been considering the hybrid option but i'd look for around 220bhp - at that power i'd probably look at an uprated side mount unless the price difference was negligable

Hybrid turbo - 1K
Clutch - £700-1,000
Cooler Approx £500
Remap - £500
Turbo back exhaust - £500

ok so over 3K..    plus you need brakes and suspension but most people do that as a matter of course anyway 

i'm under the impression you can have it mapped exactly as you want it     a tuner worth his salt will be able to adjust things 

most get remapped via rolling road and live road mapping

Just thought i would highlight what was said in that GTI thing in Auto Express about the mk4 1.8t GTI "This model was never really a true hot hatch, and later high powered diesel variants are arguably the most involving"  the GTI boys are gonna love that
