Hai tech wor... Need to add intercooler.. Normally the air hot a bit.

This one got the ionizer function or not? An even more advanced form of air charging.

very high tech. You see got buttons to ACTIVATE the turbo. 2 stage summore.

Taking the 2.0 as the benchmark against the GT then -

1. Gearbox failure rate is extremely rare - which is why the mk6 GTI and the mk7 GTI still retains its value much better than the rest of the 7 speeders.

2. coil packs - wear and tear - It was good for at least 60k miles for me (stock). I think it would have still gone on working for another 10k or more had I not decided to change to red packs. Mixed results for some people, suspect the stock coil pack wears a lot faster for people who are extremely aggressive or extremely passive with their cars, which sounds weird but is true.

3. Adaptive dampers - Haven't heard of any failure but as wear and tear, things start to need replacing after a certain mileage (as with any car). A friend has told me a car's absorbers actually should be replaced around the 60,000km mileage.

4. Resale value - Will not be as good as the Japanese but unlike the rest of the 7 speeders, the 2.0 Passat should have the same kind of value retention like the mk6 and mk7 GTI as it does not suffer the same kind of problem like the 7 speeder models. Take a look at Mudah for the prices of a 2nd hand mk7 GTI to give yourself some idea how well the 2.0 Passat will sell after a few years down the road.

Conti parts start having issues with wear and tear around the 100,000km mileage. This is when things starts to get expensive. Engine mounting, lower arm bearings, speed sensors, engine manifolds, absorbers and absorber mounting, engine seals and brake disc needs to be replaced around this time. Once this is done, the car should be good for another 100,000km.

Issue about parts availability - AFAIK, engine parts are readily available as they share the same identical parts with the mk7 GTI. This applies to almost everything in the Passat except for the visual parts (lights, led), body panels or aero parts.

On average, it shouldn't cost more to service a 2.0 Passat compared to the 2.0 Camry. Please refer to the cost of servicing the cars to the following pages. This is strictly following their servicing guides to the letter. Unfortunately, no service guide exists for the KIA Optima GT or none that I have come across online

The 5 year free service does not apply to the 2.0 Highline - which is a pity.

Wahhh...
U all so free layan a sorhigh ah?

He already simply simplified for u to read still u no understand, means u more chunhigh than him wor.

u paham mou ?

Tak...

Toyota oil change intervals are nuts!
Coming from a Jap owner, VW service charges are insane, whilst it's 15,000km OCI is good to go.

If you're still referring to turbo gauge, don't tell me that you don't know that when decelerate and accelerate, the meter reading varies depend on how you control the pedal. The ony best way to test few different cars with turbo is from idle rpm all the way up, at least the reading is always around that range. If your car at 3000rpm, the pressure in exhaust manifold is already high enough to spin the impeller, you floor pedal from there will give you acceleration.

As for this part:
"If new generation small turbocharger like VGT or Twinscroll, the y could operate from low end thanks to retracted impeller able to boost 0.3 at 1500rpm, 0.5 at 1800rpm, 1.0 at 2100rpm, 1.3 at 3000rpm, 1.5 at 5000rpm. "
>>> I'm surprised you haven't notice it was taken from the Elantra sport that you always said wanted to buy. I can post the reading so fast because my buddies with Japanese companies just completed evaluation not long ago, still fresh on my mind. Are you trying to say preve primitive turbo is no different from your Elantra sport VGT.

Most saloon cars that come with turbo are meant for torque and FC, so they are fitted with small turbo either VGT or twinscroll to reduce lag. Only if you are rich, then could get BMW or equivalent that comes with combination of small and large turbo. I never mentioned only small turbo advanced, only thing is cars that most could afford don't have large advanced turbo in luxury cars.

Fyi, modshop owners find the turbocharged Veloster, Koup, Elantra as threat to their business. If these Korean turbocharged are sold at healthy volume with poor resale value, people like Kenny will suffer badly. Imagine there are many cheap 2nd hand Korean 1.6T and 2.0T sold cheap at 40k, no 1 will bother to modify their NA cars with turbo already. I'm surprise the modshop guys still haven't notice. Civic turbo, they are less afraid because of strong resale value, few years still expensive. Modshop guys will always hope for low sales volume, people like Kenny will soon change their mind and attack Korean turbo cars when they realise this.

Ford ecoboost use twinscroll turbocharger from Borgwarner. The preve turbo cannot compare, totally outclassed and outperformed.

Have you checked the price of Ford ecoboost timing belt? They are far more expensive than standard timing belt. You know this is part of the reason that driven people away from Ford? In fact Ford keeps repeating past mistakes again and again that dragged themselves down. Winning Ward doesn't mean it wins practicality.

Like Nissan VQ V6 engine, it won award with Ward's best engine but in reality, you can see how fuel guzzling the Cefiro and early Teana were, yet getting weaker to torque than Camry and Accord 2.4L. Most humiliating was the Cefiro and Teana lost 0-100kmh against Camry and Accord.

Samsung has high end expensive S7 and at the same time, they have the really cheap and lousy J1 to cater for poorer level group. Same case with Borgwarner, they have the advanced state of the art twinscroll, VGT and at the same time, they do sell the cheap primitive turbo.

Yes, like Samsung J1, Borgwarner and other manufacturers do offer cheap primitive turbo to cater for people from modshop. They buy the primitive cheap turbo because it's cheap and also, they don't have the ability to install advanced turbo that requires really high electronic and physics engineering skill in order to make them works.

If preve fitted with Borgwarner, that is like Samsung J1. Wonder why you treat your Elantra sport so low class saying it has same ability as Preve turbo and not advanced like what I said?

Already posted the exact turbocharger for you to see, still mau pusing. Pls do yourself a favour and stop digging that hole you are in.

What Ward's best engine? that is for the US market only. We are talking about International Engine of The Year.

Yes, 58 judges from all over the world in the International Engine of The Year judging panel is not as smart as one person like you, awarding the same engine the award for 3 years in a row. In fact the 1.0 Ecoboost is still dominating the sub-1.0l category until now.

In case you don't know what is International Engine of The Year

Not only don't know anything, but in deep denial and continue to make up fairytales to cover up your ignorance and incompetence.

Master strategist konon. No wonder Honda sunk to the bottom of JDpower's customer satisfaction rating.

Salesman midnight shift ka?

The bodoh still on denial mode..
He didnt know u trying to tell him vq20det is the first vvti.. Bodohnya

Bro, you haven't teach me lel. What turbo installed in Civic 1.5T hah? Don't forget bro.

Whoa, your Japanese strategist friend also Ah Beng, so fast mod the Elantra Sport already. First modded Elantra Sport in Malaysia man.

Stock ES boost to 10-13 psi only and cap this boost flat 1500 to 4500rpm. Wah, your Ah Beng Japanese strategist friends boost all the way to 1.5bar which is over 21psi. Somemore continuously to raise until 5000rpm. This is a monster man, how much power it made? I would have guess 280-300 mark with such high boost. At least 250 on the wheel when dyno like that. How much is the VGT and from which aftermarket brand? Response better than then stock BorgWarner K03 twinscroll? What other mod? Where they do ECU remap? Big gulp cold intake? High flow cat converter?

Wah, SD really should have hire your friend, really put money to mod competitors' car. Kudos to your Ah Beng Japanese strategist.

But but but... His fren car mod like that resale value gg wor...
Fc also gg wor.

Strategist pay over 6k, can afford one lah. Sap sap water.

We all misunderstand him already. He call us ah beng because he salute us.

Since he put us same category as his Ah Beng Japanese King Strategist.

Wei.....slapping your self again strategist master with vast internal knowledge and extensive connection inside car industry...bila elantra sport in pakai VGT?

There are only a handful of petrol engined cars' turbochargers that uses VGT type.

Again, please fact check before you post. Most of BMW's lower ranged engine, even though turbocharged are mostly single turbocharger and twinscroll type. You actually fall flat with their "twinpower turbo" tagline??

There is no such thing as outclass or primitive turbocharger, it is the selection criteria by the car makes to optimise their performance and cost range.

Timing belt mechanism is fundamentally similar, just how durable before they snap. And no, when it ages, it won't slip.

You don't even understand what you are saying and you now memperbodohkan and memperendahkan those turbocharger engineers. Eh....they also have quality standards to meet la....you tau apa TS 16949?? There are no low quality turbochargers, but there are ranges for lower power requirements.

All modshop that get properly sourced turbochargers are of good operational quality. If you say they anyhow recondition/refurbish the turbocharger, this comment can accept; if you say they simply recommend, this also have some level of acceptability. If modshop know how to select and have the cash, they can choose anything in the aftermarket range.

You drop S7 and J1 on the floor, both also can still function after that. The fundamentals will always remain working despite lower range products. Get your understanding right.

I know you won't read, but for those who are actually curious how turbochargers are internally tested :
