difference between 1.8t engines???
« on: 24 September 2011, 20:33 »
can someone plz tell me if there is any difference between the 1.8t engines across the vag range?

i know some are drive by wire and some are drive by cable

but is there a difference between the 150bhp engine and the 180bhp engines?

are the blocks, heads and internals all the same?

No they are different mate agu as bigger internals with small turbo aum as ko3s turbo which is better for mapping as it takes more power as for the rest I ain't got a clue but I'm sure someone will follow up the rest  :wink:

ok so what i can gather from some searching the net is that my engine (AGU) is the 150 bhp engine but has a bigger ported head and is better for making more power with the correct mods, turbo and map???

i thot the factory 180bhp engines would have the better base engine??

lol i had a 1.8t ibiza cupra (2005) and was running a stage 2 but was forever breaking down lol, so i sold it and a few months later i missed the power and ended up buying a cheap golf as a second car/toy. im toying with the idea of stripping it out.

just trying to figure out the differences between the engines and best for power gains  :evil:
