I had that itch to do some stuff to my 09 jetta but after the news on the 2.0L came out that obviously stopped that. With the buyback coming soon (hopefully) I'm looking into a 04 golf TDI as my replacement with the goal in mind to up my mpg as the top priority but also adding power. Parts I'm looking at are 800pd nozzles, 2.5 turboback most likely straight piped, stg 2 daily clutch, tune, and delete the egr and the cooler. Don't know if using brand names are OK on here so I'll hold off till someone else says otherwise. Thanks in advance everyone
Am I on the right track? "Performance" parts shopping

PD's like to eat cams so budget that just in case you need one. Colt or Franko makes nice billet replacements that are designed to last.
Not sure what 800 PD nozzles are but talk to whomever your buying them from to get the correct units.
I'd be looking at another turbo too, a VNT 17 or other turbo would be worthwhile upgrade, the stocker is just too small and prone to exploding.

Franko also does calibration on the nozzles for alot less and he does a great job if you have time to wait.

Both engines have issues. If you're handy, the cam thing isn't a big deal. I like the PD, its smoother and quieter but my wife's ALH has way more grunt.
