Big news for GT TDI owners!

[Greg Roles]

I tried to spin mine to 5000 on a slight downhill last weekend and failed. I dont believe it has anything after 4500.
I don't think this has all that much to do with the tuning either, i really think the exhaust has to much restriction.

I am hoping they will let me put the lambda up the pipe so the dyno can tell the real story.

Dude, mine feels unhappy from high 3000 rpm on. I too have tried a few 5000rpm efforts, but it sure isn't happy about it. Just feels like over-rev, simply making noise...

Amazing stock figures quoted on the revo site though, today will be interesting!

Hi - lurker here - must thank you for all your excellent info. This forum actually convinced me to go with a nice brand spanking new GT Sport 2.0TDI DSG White with the works 'n jerks. I await it's delivery.

I am just wondering how the dyno test went Greg?

If you check the Brisbane dyno thread, which will be a few pages back in the meets section, there's a full writeup. Thread is kinda messy though!

At the wheels, stock as a rock, 113 odd KW and 357 NM. If you allow the same difference to 125kw at the engine, the GT TDI is putting out over 380NM at the engine. That's obviously on that dyno on that day, but the thread shows all the comparisons. The torque is on the dyno graph alongside Jaymz car somewhere on that thread.

Fun car, you'll enjoy it!

Cheers Greg!
