The Mitsubishi L200 immediately springs to mind when talking about off-road vehicles. We have tuned this valuable vehicle many times, starting as early as several years ago when it was fitted with the 4-cylinder 2500 powered by an electronically controlled rotary injection pump. We have done this very often and still happen to supply or directly install additional VP37 chip tuners to upgrade this turbodiesel.
Although seldom used in the automotive field compared to the turbocharger, it nevertheless has some advantages over the turbocharger. Let's see how it works and examine the differences between driving a turbocharged and supercharged car. If you have regularly followed our automotive blog, you will have noticed that we have already talked about turbocharging systems several times.
Here we are again talking about a beautiful multi-purpose sports car, the Golf 8 (CD), which apparently does as well in the city as on the road or the track. It runs on one of the many variants of the 2-liter turbo gasoline already employed on other VWs and Audis.
You get a mighty sound even at low revs and while idling to feel the presence of the engine to the fullest and with the possibility to manage the exhaust valves in automatic mode (standard management operated by the Audi ECU) or in manual mode (EVC-SPORT® frees up all the exhaust ducts) at any time and from the comfort of the steering wheel.
This PROCEED 1.6 GT was quite a surprise. We were not used to sporty KIAs, and this one is certainly sporty in many ways. Not only because of the engine, which we will talk about in a moment, but the trim, wheels, and brakes have also been completely revised to match the character and true performance.
