Any differences between 06 TDI engine and my 99 TDI engine?
If so, how much power can you get out of the new ones with a chip? And will the 5 speed auto in the 06 handle a chip? Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

Huge difference between the two. Totally different technologies, totally different power band. The PDs have a much flatter torque curve. They also go from 100 HP stock, to 135-ish hp chipped. Nozzles are possible upgrades on the PD, but this requires getting into the engine itself...remove the valve cover, etc. I find the PDs tend to smoke a little stock compared to the A4s. I haven't seen a chipped one, though.
