1.4Tsi, anything I need to know?

[simon54321]

Hi ant, yes the map is defiantly worth doing mate, a lot quicker on acceleration and a lot smoother power delivery, I didn't get the dyno run because the dyno was unfochnatly down on the day that I went, but approx figures on bhp, 125 to 155 approx, and I couldn't guess on the tourque, I went to stattlers in sheffeild, and there absolutely fantastic, they will advise you on anything, and on a plus side I believe that revo currently have a sale on at the moment, hope this helps bud.

One thing I will say is that u'll get slightly better result if you have a good air filter (like a pipercross or alernaative), and also an exhaust, (like a miltek or custom) I don't know what the difference would be without, but it give's you an excuse to get them none the less

This thread makes good reading for me; I'm picking one of these up tomorrow after work (same reason as Joe, baby on the way and needed something more practical / economical).

Good choice, seem to be a growing number of 1.4 TSI owners on here

Which version did you go for?

<useful info>

Thanks Simon, definitely something I'll look into I think. I'm in Manchester so I have a few places near me; Prosport in Stockport I've read good things about on this forum and I have used Awesome GTI in the past too (had a mk4 Golf some years ago). Currently working in Sheffield so that's another option...

It's a 2009 1.4 TSI Sport, was all set for a Golf GTI or Leon FR (2.0TSI) but as it'll be mainly used by the missus for shopping / ferrying a baby about I figured the 1.4 would be much better on fuel and still pokey enough to drive round town (plus much cheaper tax, insurance etc.). Hopefully it's the right choice.

I'll get some pics up when I've met the required post count...
