2002 ALH TDI
Member
Good morning folks.
I'm in the market for a turbo and tune for my TDI. Im driving a 2002 Jetta ALH Manual car.
My car is growing the classic symptoms of "its turbo time" so i'm ready to get on this.
That said this is what i'm looking for:
-Garrett or BW VNT17 (stock euro TDI unit, not 1722)
-Boost pipe adapter
-Malone stage 3 tune with dynamic idle and EGR, and immobilizer delete.
IM looking for one vendor who can give me a good price on all of it together, rather than splitting it up.
Does anyone have any factual advice on weather the Borg Warner or Garrett units have better reliability?
My car does have a single mass flywheel and HD clutch installed. It also has the 11mil injection pump and complete matched DLC520 injectors, not just the nozzles.
I'm not looking for max power, just a solid boost without tanking reliability and fuel mileage. I'm out of my "dumb kid" ear, so I don't abuse this car, its my reliable driver.
I'm also looking for any pointers anyone may have for me on this project, as this is my first TDI, and I want to have everything I need in front of me.
So far I like the car, allbeit no where near as cozy and large as i prefer, with the average tank being 48mpg with my driving style its hard to argue, with the amount of miles I log in a week.
Thanks in advance for any information!
