Golf 7 1.4 TSi 90kw/103kw/118kw turbo differences

Post by JR16V »

Hi all fellow vw enthusiasts :wink:

So as the title states, is there anyone on the forum who has some in depth knowledge on what the differences are specifically between the 90kw & 103kw turbo only?

From what i see after looking at the entire turbo housing etc the parts look identical apart from the wastegate. The reason im asking is i am planning to do a turbo swap, i tried speaking to the technical guys at VW and they saying its just software differences. i dont think thats the case as the only difference between these engines apart from the turbo is the 103kw has ACT and the 90kw doesnt.

So there has to be some differences on the turbo itself, can anyone confirm this?

Please guys im really relying on the experts to assist :hi:
