Hi, names Damian and I am new to VW Jetta TDI as of 2 weeks ago, and I need some help as I have no idea who to talk to about this stuff in Victoria BC.
All I have ever owned was older chev trucks and my CBR600rr, not only am I new to my Jetta but new cars in general.
My car - 2003 VW Jetta TDI
No mods that I know of.
I bought if for $4200 and it is in really good shape. But it was needing a little work, reg maintenance and it has no muffler, only a cat and exhaust stops behind the front seats.
Reason why I started a new thread is because I tried searching this stuff, but this app does a horrible job at finding proper searches for me.
Question #1 - I am needing a new exhaust system and I am not sure if I should keep a cat and go with a OEM type system, or do something custom.
What size of down pipe and exhaust should I do?
Cat or no cat?
Would I get error codes without a cat??
How much would it benefit me??
Question #2 - I need to do a break job, should I stay with the OEM style breaks or upgrade??
Iv read that the Audi TT break system is a good upgrade, but I can't find much info on this??
Would it benefit me to get drilled or slotted rotors??
Question #3 - engine mods??
ECU chip?? Or other type of chips??
Air intake??
Boost controller??
Up grade turbo??
Intercooler mods??
Any suggestions??
If you feel that I may benefit from anything els please let me know. I am trying to get a bit more power, but also keep fuel mileage up.
