The Transporter T5 2.5 TDi 174bhp variant is the top of the range Transporter. Using a Garrett VNT turbo and front mounted intercooler it provides for some impressive performance even as standard. This engine is exactly half of that used in the Touareg 5.0 V10 so its evident of the tolerances available in this engine. For those who want more we can achieve more power than 228bhp from this engine, likewise we can remove the 120mph speed limiter to make the most of it. We develop all of our software on the rolling road to ensure accuracy in terms of both power delivery and also to ensure fuelling, boost pressures and exhaust gas temperatures are all within tolerance. Our aim is for maximum power whilst maintaining optimum reliability.

The stage 2 upgrade here is just an example of what we can do for this engine. The T5 that produced this chart had a front mounted inter-cooler and GTB2260 turbo operating at 1.9 bar boost. This was produced whilst keeping the DPF and EGR installed on the vehicle and operating perfectly clean emissions. There is more power available, this is just an example of one we have worked on.
