Does the new leon come in 3 engine specs of the 2.0t engine?

182/197/237?

Anyone know what the differences are? I take it the 182/197 cars have smaller turbos?

Also i notice there are 2 other versions... The 230bhp version used in the new golf and the 262bhp version used in the Audi S3.

Why so many engine types from basically the same engine:shrug:

182/197/230/237/262 :rolleyes:

Only an 80bhp difference between lowest and highest specs but 5 variatons:blink:

Is the 230 engine a chipped up 197 engine or is it a lower boosted 237 engine:confused: Or are they the same:confused:

Why didn't VW use the 237bhp engine from the cupra and why doesn't the cupra use the 262 spec from the Audi?

Confused lol:lol:

The 182hp and the 197hp are both the BWA engines. They have the 'K03s' turbocharger. The 182hp is just said to have a different software map, and possibly a restriction in the exhaust (from looking at my own car).

The BWJ (cupra) and BHZ (S3/Cupra Champinoship Car) have the larer K04 turbo fitted. These also have strong internals such as rods/pistons etc.

The 230ish hp engine is said to also be a detuned version of the S3 but I am not 100% sure on this.

Are they different K04 turbo's to the 023 version used in the mk1 cars?

These turbos supposedly capable of 330bhp, K04/023 only capable of 280bhp.

You sure they are k04 based turbos?

Would that mean the k04 new turbo would fit onto a k04/023 based manifold?

k04 'type' - but the exhaust housing is part of the manifold.

The 2.0TFSi turbo exits on the opposite side to the k04-23 as well

it does flow more than the k04-23 though, but the 'lag' is taken up with the larger capacity, so you notice it less.
