santa pod, DT vs. TDI

[Toms306]

Do the PD's have power right round the rev range?

Well unless they've made a drastic turbo change since the older 130/150PD......I doubt it! Even VNT lags when you go for a bigger turbo (albeit not as bad as non vnt)........ But the 6 speed box makes it easier to keep in the powerband. They do run out of puff in each gear quick though as the redline is about 4.5k, where yours is probably closer to 5.5k in the XUD? So depends how good your mate is at gearchanges (and how good his synchro's are!) as well.

Infact, iirc, they use the GT1749VB on the PD160 - which is the same as the 150 golf (the turbo I upgraded too).

So similar weight and a little more power (although Im sure the 160 will have a better map) to the Golf....

Oh but just incase they use the non-laggy GT1749VA (130 turbo) - its much better bottom end! (Theres radio on this vid though, turn it down lol)
