O.k. guys, pleas help me on this one,,,
I want to buy a 1.9Tdi 110hp Ibiza, the 2000MY. So I got to get a used one. The problem is that here in Rome there aren't a lot of those cars. I found one. The owner has chipped it to 130hp and has lowered it by 2.5 cm (1 inch) just using harder-lower springs.
2 questions now:
-Do you think that the turbo pressure shift (just to 130hp) can lead to engine damage in any way? I don't know how much the pressure has been raised (I'm gonna ask) but I know that It can only be raised by 0.3-0.4 bars to leave the engine work properly and endure. Is this true?
-The roads here in Roma, Italy are sometimes very shitty, and a mechanix who has examinated the cars (which is overall in almost perfect conditions) told me that it almost doesn't absorb any shock on the rear axle. Can this lead to any seriuos damage to suspensions or any other part or drastically lower the tires endurance?
thx a lot, this site is great!!!
