I have been trying to gather as much info as possible, but I've not found any definitive answers or results from anybody with an mk5 (2005.5+) jetta tdi with the dsg (or any tranny for that matter). One of the main reasons I got the tdi was for the fuel mileage, and I've read that they tow well. In short, I now have a small 4x8 trailer that I tow my drag motorcycle to the track with, and I was surprised how much that affects my car. I expected it to have a lot more power while towing, but it seems quite labored. How much power can you upgrade a BRM tdi with the dsg, and what do you recommend? I don't want to have to do an upgraded clutch, bigger turbo, or bigger injectors. I am willing to throw on a boost gauge, straight through muffler, and I already have an AEM cone air filter. I want this vehicle to be around for a long time, and I have a feeling that the car will get much better fuel mileage while towing if I can add another 30-40 hp. Thoughts????
