ABT VS4 - 170hp TDI Golf V



You can check it out here:

From VWVortex.com:

For instance the wish for more power: after new detailed programming of the engine management, the four-cylinder turbo diesel engine with a capacity of two litres now has an output of 125 kW instead of the regular performance of 102 kW (170 instead of 140 hp). This upgrade has been achieved by a modification that requires enormous know-how of development, while only bringing advantages for the customer: chip-tuning. By modifying the data, the Abt Golf VS4 not only gets more power (0-100 in 8,6 sec and a V-max of 208 km/h), but also higher torque and a more sporty throttle response.
0-60 in 8.6 seems a tad slow for 170hp and does not mention the transmission type ... though I'd have to assume it's a manual. Nonetheless, this is a pretty interesting tuner car.

8.6 seems very very slow for 170hp, and because its tdi im sure it has a hell of a lot of torque, wonder why its so low
