140ps vs 170ps

[B8 TDI]

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is the difference, both are 2.0 TDI, so what exactly makes them different? Turbo? Injectors? Or is it just a different map?:confused:

there is soemone who had a long test drive with the both engines but on the A4 B8 not on the b7 or semething different?

there is much difference in term of power?

170 has a bigger turbo.

Thanks Jonathan, That's about the only thing that does make sense.

Hi,

I don't know if its true, but I heard that difference between 143 and 170 hp is ecu map and injectors.

The ECU Map is almost a given, I've seen the injectors mentioned a few times before, but I'm not so sure about that, all of the information I've seen relating to the new piezo injectors reffer to them in relation to the 143 and not specifically to the 170.

On the B7 it was a bigger turbo and intercooler.
