Nice car! I have a Galactic Blue 2003 that looks identical to yours except for the exhaust tip. I did a stage 2 chip (can't remember whose) and 520 injectors. A little smoke, but not rolling coal. 45+ mpg while averaging 75 to and from work. I also have a Bora Sport TDI cluster from UK I'm trying to adapt. Enjoy your ride!
