when i did my redline shoot we did timed runs i got a 8.44 0-60 and it was raining really bad mines running 180bhp 310 lbft never had any problems its on 92k now
couldn't you just drill the hell out of your air box rather than fit the 160 intake? or am i missing a point? lol
@Seatmann - 200's a bit ambitous from the 90 model haha the non PD engines are a bit trickyer to tune than the newer PD's, but after a turbo swap (the 150 turbo, or better still: hybrid), fmic, injector swap, filet, exhaust and remap... yeah im sure the 200bhp mark wouldn't be too far off. but then your talking big bucks!don't forget your clutch will never take that sort of power either! and of course 200 bhp is a little harder to stop than 90, so big brakes for sure

Have you thought about engine transplant. Stick the 150PD lump in there....
It begs the question why not start from a 150PD starting point i.e. all the talk of FMIC etc?
Simple, probably work out cheaper and he will have the advantages of a new technology engine.Why, 1 point of compression is not going to make a difference this side of 280hp, unless your tuner is crap. the 90hp engines have seen 300hp in finland with stock bottom ends!!
i've seen 170 bhp from a pd130 engine just with a remap nothing else
I didnt realise the tdi sport was a 130. I thought the chap had a tdi 90.newer tech compared to a 130? not really mate, compared to VE, yes but newer is not always better. My VE will rev to 6k and still pull, a PD wont.
I have a PD150 engine for sale but i would never sell it to anyone who want to upgrade from a perfectly working PD130 no matter how much they offered, lol!!
It would not be simple really, a couple of days labour and £700 wasted, lol
the reason for this tread is that I'm literally paranoid when it comes to increasing engines power and I needed to ensure myself that turning PD130/310 into 170/380 with FMIC is safe...![]()
