Will the chipped 170 HP motor have a slight performance advantage over the chipped 150 HP motor with the same chip?

Giancarlo

As long as the 150hp engine has VVT, no it shouldn't since all audi did was add more boost to the 2001 150hp engine.

the 150hp engines don't have VVT. VVT is part of the reason for 170hp in the 01s.

I noticed on some chip manufacturer's websites they are claiming 210 HP with chip on the 170 HP engine.

I live in MExico and my A4 2001 1.8T has the VVT and has 150hp, like all the euro ones do. I think some of the Audis in the states came with this change and 150hp, like a lot of VW's 1.8T cars.

The chip tuner are getting a little more out of these engines, but I think it is closer to 205hp instead of 198. something like 7 more horses.

so theoretically, it is capable of more power in a forced induction motor.

if you look at APR, the difference is 7hp between a 150 or 170 chipped engine, torq is same

and therefore you couldn't take advantage of the lower compression without a turbo upgrade.

This will stress the stock turbo a bit more but give you a bit more power from my understanding. However, I wonder how the two engines compare with identical boost pressures with the same chip.

Giancarlo

I haven't heard of anyone using 1.5 bars in a otherwise stock 1.8T.

please clear me up.
