Brake discs

Post by DrLaxus »

Does anyone know if there is a difference in brakes on the 2.0 TSI and the 1.4 TSI 160PS? Are the brakes on the 1.4 less powerfull?

I'm just wondering because I'm planning to get a remap on my 1.4 TSI up to 200+PS and I just want to make sure that my brakes will be able to handle the extra power as good as a 2.0 TSI model.

I'm pretty sure that the only model with different brakes is the r.

Thanks for your reply. Anyway, I'm not planning to put any aftermarket brakes on my car any time soon. I was just wondering if the standard brakes are different depending on the power of the engine. However that would make production more expensive I think so it sounds reasonable to install the same on all models (except R).
