Performance mods
« on: May 26, 2012, 01:54:20 am »
Ok I am in the latter stages of completing my cosmetic mods -- before i  continue into the expense of performance mods (
 exhaust ,remap and all the others that i read About--- ) can anyone confirm if these Mods give any top end speed gains

Most engine mods will help increase the top end speed slighlty.  But you are really limited by the ratios on the gear box and the final drive ratio as to how fast the car will go.

Top end gains? Where can you go apart from Germany where you can use a car a more than 160mph. :stupid:

....Oh dear. Not another guy who thinks it's all about max top speed  :rolleye:

Are you one of those guys who also does 45+ in a 30?

Are  you saying with all those mods you have you drive like your driving miss daisy ?
I only put foot down on the motorway so no But I fail to understand why driving style is of import in relation to the question

....I'm only reacting and responding to your words which implied that you feel it's okay to drive 160 anywhere. Did you meam something different from what you had written? Did I misunderstand you?

I very much doubt a 2.0tdi is geared for 160, and you'll never get enough power out of it to shove it through the air and get there anyway.
Sideways yo!
