1.8t aum engine internals
« on: 28 December 2014, 22:55 »
hi I have a golf 1.8t gti I am still quit new to this car so i am learning and I have just discovered I have the aum engine which has the ko3s turbo which im hearing is the better turbo but the agu engines are better internally???? atm I am running at about 195-200 bhp and just had a clutch upgrade as my remap was to aggressive for my standard clutch but does anyone know what the aums can internally handle bhp wise so i know my limit i can go to any info is appreciated as i said new to this car and turbo's
Thanks

Don't worry about the internals with the K03s. The AGU has slightly bigger wrist pins and larger inlet ports but it doesn't make any real difference TBH
