X2 on the 1.9 Tdi 130, i have quottro & it's been mapped & goes like **** off a shovel, i also have a B7 3.0 tdi quattro but much prefer the 1.9
I was just about to mention fuel economy in the petrol variants ! If money's no problem then a s4 v8 is the best of the bunch- manual box and sound to die for ! If you're a cheapskate and look after your pennies then the pd130 tdi mapped is also fun, throw a few parts at it and 200-250 Bhp is easily attainable on a decent budget. I would personally take a later v6 tdi, one of my gtb2260vk turbo kits, larger nozzles and intercooler upgrade will still return 40Mpg and give you 300 Bhp all in a smart package with a very strong gearbox and a chassis able to take the power and lay it on the tarmac ! Few mods from it's more powerful brothers (s4 and rs4) will make a nice looking/handling package !
Rs4 B6?Rs4 b6 is a fine motor, sadly it has the wrong engine in ! The b5 had the proper engine however the chassis is a bit dated ! I wish the rs4 b6 had a 3 litter twin turbocharged engine, it would make the chassis work well !
B6 never been available with the 3.0 tdi engine ! I don't mind the 3.0 tdi engine in the b7 but the early engines were riddled with problems and road tax is a killer + the manual gearboxes are pants and only available on lower powered models that have the bv50 turbo and not the stronger gtb2260vk turbocharger ! Not easy to convert either !
I didn't mention 3.0 tdi (I said petrol) it was gutless and went in 2 weeks

I believe Adams was referring to Stevie's comment.
The 1.9 tdi cannot be faster than a 3.0 petrol unless the later is in limp mode ! 130 Bhp vs 216 Bhp on early models... even mapped tdi won't beat a stock NA 3.0 petrol !I didn't mention 3.0 tdi (I said petrol) it was gutless and went in 2 weeks
A 1.9 TDI diesel cannot be quicker than the 3.0 petrol however the surge of torque makes the diesel feel fast compared with the smooth power delivery from the NA petrol engine !
Of course it can.. My brothers 1.9Tdi MK2 golf did me over in a 320bhp 2.7 S4 the other night.. I also used to give him a hard time with my 130bhp (with two tuning boxes) in his ST220 3.0 mondeo..
Exactly. Non-stock 1.9 TDI's. Because a stock PD 130 is significantly slower than even a healthy B5 2.8 30V.
As in a remapped version yes?
Has anyone got a map, I think this thread has strayed off topic!
