GTi and 1.5D cranks are the same, so there's no advantage.
1.5D rods are slightly shorter as well iirc, because it has a thicker piston crown so the little end is "further" away from the head of the piston.
Stroke is the same, but the bore on a 1.5D is 77mm and I think the 1.6 is 78.5mm?
Liam, if you lower the compression it won't start, or it'll be a right bastard to start Maybe not in warmer weather mind you. It'll be more efficient with high compression and less boost.
A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
