How to know the difference:
55 - door handle , mirrors not painted
63- painted
Another easy way too tell just check your dyno page in the boot or your vin number
My one is a 55 kW got it from brand new

Those numbers are meanigless to prove what the mods have done without a before/after comparison on the same dyno.

The older 8 valve 1.4i was rated at 62kw and and the now 16 valve is rated at 63kw - I suspect VW heavily underrated these motors as these cars are dynoing more locally on more than one instance.

Nobody said that your car is slow. I'm just saying that if you ever want to know what mods did you have to dyno it beforehand - do your mods and dyno it after - on the same dyno and similar conditions. Now all you are doing is make people doubt the accuracy of the dyno instead of congratulating you on your achievement. kapish?.

Hi I have the 63 kw version and my handles are not painted,the best way is to look at the sticker in the boot or get the agents to check on their system via the vin number,nowadays people do all types of cosmetic changes on their cars so to try and judge the different kw engines from cosmetics will send you on a wild goose chase.I would also like to see a picture of that induction setup because having a 12 kw gain from only induction is pretty impressive.

This thread should be moved to the Mythbusters thread......

A naturally aspirated 1400 gaining that much from some mythical induction kit that no one has seen yet.
