Hey All,
First, this is my first post so please forgive me for any misquotes. I have a 2004 Golf TDI with BEW engine 210k miles and I'm kind of torn about if I should let it go or repair. It needs a turbo, original is dead (works sometimes but not others due to host side veins sticking/failing) according to the dealer. I'm considering either replacing with another KP39 or upgrading to VNT17 but I'm wondering if I can put VNT17 on stock tune and what the effects will be. I bought the car with 108k and I think its still on the original clutch, should I replace it too? Do I really need to? Do I need to get a tune. Money is not an issue but I'm worried the car is not worth it. This car is my daily driver, and I drive it a ton as it makes me money.
Help me out.
