VW Caddy Take Over! 4 x Vans with Darkside Turbo Kits

[@forgottenknowledge8917]

I love how so many parts are interchangeable. My caddy is going to look like a mix of Touran, Golf and Caddy

[@harry9937]

You had me at Right Then.

[@dirtworksbikes]

Could not be happier with the service from the Darkside team. Vans been up 4 or so times over the past 2 years. Would always go back and trust their judgment no matter what.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Cheers Matt!

We don’t have such a high engineering skill here in Aus. Well done guys, my hat off to you all. 👍

Are these 2liters also the ones with the "bad valve positioning" like you explained with the golf mk7 gtd? Seems like these results are almost the same for lots less effort?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

All the new engines are the same.

@@DarksideDevelopments okay, so i better look for 2015 or older? Other question, adblue is not functioning anymore i guess?

Do all the caddy 2.0 dsg mk4s remap to the same hp and torque give or take?

Roughly the same yeah

[@tommymolloy8214]

I’m mad to get the 22/60done but can someone tell me what’s this gonna make my van like on fuel , compared to just a remap from 102hp - 150hp cheers

[@DarksideDevelopments]

Fuel consumption will be very similar for the same driving speeds, sometimes better but rarely any worse. Hammer it and it will drink more obviously!

Look for the Fabia project, that's the same engine

[@maki07199]

I have caddy maxi 2.0 tdi 62kw 84hp, i guess its detuned from 140hp because i buy it from post, is it good to remap it to 140hp because i dont know will cluch hold, engine cod is CFHE

[@alexstromberg7696]

Just because a car can be tuned doesn't mean it detuned. Car makers want as much reliability they can

[@DarksideDevelopments]

They are just the same hardware, detuned in the software so 180+ is not hard to achieve really.

[@adamturner5250]

Those 2.0 caddy’s..what engine spec are they from standard as I’m in the market to change my transit connect 2016 as no ones doing any tuning on them so going caddy..been looking at the 2.0 dsg but details said 150bhp?? Is that correct? Cheers

[@DarksideDevelopments]

@@adamturner5250 If you're in the market and seriously looking to purchase drop us an email with your budget and requirements, we are planning to build some to sell shortly ;) [e-mail]

[@adamturner5250]

Cheers rob will do!

[@BaldBogey]

I'm currently on the hunt for a Caddy (2012 shape). I've been told the 1.6's aren't that good for tuning. How true is this? Would like a 2.0l but they seem quite rare and demand a lot more money.

[@kyleb5518]

I've never seen a 1.6 mechanically fail except for real high milers, these guys have got 304bhp out of a fabia with a 1.6, I recall Ryan saying that is the limit, but they are safe for low 200s I really wouldn't let 400cc scare you, they are light as far as vans go 👍

[@tescofood]

Darkside mapped my 2012 75k miler and did a few other things CAYC and I've not had any problems at all.

[@SheepInACart]

Its worth keeping in mind that as they leave factory the base 1.6L (75hp at lowest, 84hp also sold, while upper is 102hp) makes barely over half the power of the top 2.0L (140hp highest, while lower is 109hp), and they all come with different transmissions (which can become a limiting factor when tuning), so its not as if there is only the 25% extra displacement between them as they come stock. That said the 1.6L can be perfectly reliable when tuned, so if your only looking to liven up the street manners of a daily runabout nothing wrong with saving a bit of coin.... but if your going balls out then its a lot more nuanced question about what part will fail first that will take more hands on experience with the engines than I have.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

If you can find a 2.0 get it, if you tune a 1.6 you want a turbo and a map, anything more is a waste In our opinion. the 5 speed boxes are crap on 2.0 and 1.6.

[@DarksideDevelopments]

@@kyleb5518 the 1.6 made 230hp, 2.0 was 300 :)

[@cwuzii]

Why not start with a 2.0 instead of buying the 1.6 and planting loads of money into it?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

That van has about 10k worth of airbrushing on the side but usually I would agree.

[@cloterico]

I have a 2019 Caddy 2.0 102 HP with the 5 speed manual transmission. Without changing anything mechanical what is a reliable HP/NM values that can be achieved?

[@DarksideDevelopments]

With just software you would be looking around 170-180bhp as these have the same engine hardware as the 140 models. They are let down by the 5 speed gearbox so we normally have to limit the torque for the stock clutch and flywheel

[@cloterico]

@@DarksideDevelopments The 5 speed gearbox is a let down. I just want a better engine response. My Caddy is the Maxi version, 7 seater. 102hp and 250nm is short in some situations. My afraid of a remap is the gearbox and clutch....

[@DarksideDevelopments]

@@cloterico As above with a good custom remap the torque can be limited and made progressive to prolong the clutch and gearbox. We have done quite a lot of these with no issues

[@cloterico]

@@DarksideDevelopments Thanks. I just have to find someone here in Portugal that can do that.

[@ericishappy1979]

Heyup mate, I've got a question, not related to the video. I have a golf mk6 2011 2.0 gt140 diesel, Revo stage one remapped, eibach prosport 30mm springs, bilstein b4 shocks, brembo discs and pads, uniroyal rainsport3 tyres. It's my daily driver and it's a great car, but my issue is, the back feels too light and floaty! I've had it checked over by my local trusted vag specialist, and they said everything looks fine, bushes look in good condition etc etc. What can I do to make the back to feel more stable/planted? Also I've heard the Audi A3 control arms are an upgrade for my car? Any response would be helpful
