whats the difference?
« on: 01 July 2011, 20:24 »
right, bin looking at a lot of 1.8 turbos lately as i plan on getting one, wanted to know what the main differences between the aum, auq and the agu engines??

and also which would be best for me, all i plan on doing to the engine is to run it standard for a while and after making sure its running well and servising it i might get it remaped, no major plans like turbo changes or big bhp targets (due to funds and insurance)

cheers!!!

If insurance is a problem then why not consider the N/A?! I know the turbo is the one to have but Ive got the non turbo cos the girlfriend struggled to get insured on a turbo.

Maybe I'll get shot down for even suggesting it but mine isnt too bad for a luke warm hatch  :laugh: I like the way the power kicks in at 4600rpm like an old valver.

Nope, AUQ is 180bhp was only in Annis, later mk4's, Leon Cupra and Octavia vRS.

Standard is 150bhp.
