Anyone chipped a 1.9 Golf Mk5 TDI???
Anyone know where i can get a TDi golf chipped? I was reading in PPC the other day that someone got 190bhp from his golf with a remap! I want one!

Check out revo - they do great re-maps for VAG diesels, and will even give you a free 5 hour trial! Went from 100 to 145 bhp with my Passat, made a
massive difference, and genuinely improved economy. Torque made a gaint midrange leap too, makes the car so much more fun to drive. Think it was £450
+vat, pretty cheap for 45 bhp I'd say!
Cheers

I had my 1.9tdi Leon mapped (same engine)
It made a fantstic difference, although not as much as you have been quoted. Mine went from 105bhp to ~135bhp effectively giving the performance of
the 2.0tdi.
To get 190bhp, I think you'd need more than just a re-map. Probably intercooler mods, injectors etc.

Imagine what it would be like if there were no hypothetical situations.

Depends which variant of the TDi engine you have.
If its a PD 1.9 (130bhp or 150bhp as std) then you can get them remapped by people like Jabbasport or CCC. If you start with a 150bhp engine a £300
remap will see 180bhp. A £500 custom map might see 190bhp without any other mods. To get more than that you need a decat downpipe and front mount
intercooler.
If its not a PD engine (90bhp, 105bhp or 115bhp as std) then you wont see much over 140bhp.
My TDI leon is 180bhp with close to 300lbft of torque....quite mad really....

If it's a Mk 5 1.9 then it's a 105ps PD engine.
The 105 and the 115 are both PD engines.
The old 90 and 110 engines are the non-PD engines. Only the newer twin cam 2 litre diesels in the cars have moved over to common rail.
Cock off or cock on. You choose.
