So I'm new to the tdi's. Basically, I want more power as any other 16 year old would. Yes the car is in good condition, timing belt is good, oil changed when it should be, maintenance is up to date, so thats all good. I want to make some more power! Probably around 130hp. The thing is, the car has 460,000km and I want it to last to somewhere around 600,000km (370,000miles) and even longer if it will Whats the best way to do this, but not sacrifice a lot of liability? Im doing an EGR delete (won't be a problem where I live), and straight piping from the cat back. Ill be cleaning manifold and intake ports at the same time. That'll be my first little mods. Im planning on getting some gauges as well (egt, boost, and oil pressure) Now I know ill probably need a new clutch, heard good things about south bend clutches from kerma, so that will probably be my first choice. Now, getting to around 130hp. Whats the best way to do this? can I be good with just nozzles and a tune? or do I need more, like bigger turbo, pd150 manifold, full straight pipe, etc..
Also, how long do the turbos normally last in these alh tdi's? Don't think mines ever been replaced and 460,000km seems like a lot for one.
Anyways, any advice is appreciated, thanks.
