And I ran a couple of remapped 140 TDI DSG's and also got over 500 miles to a tank with over 185bhp and 300lbft. :happy2:

Even remapped I saw over 60mpg on motorway runs.

this is a big debate in the diesel front. a lot say the 170 aint worth the extra. to be honest i dont know what differences in the engine there are between 140 and 170 but i went with the 170.

i did this primarily because ive got a head start with performance mods.
