One of the best things about having an old VW Jetta TDI was the availability of parts at a reasonable price and the TDIclub. The club and it's members are by far and away one of the most knowledgeable forums to be found on any subject on the net.
There really is no substitute for this site and...
I haven't made up my mind yet. Most likely to sell my wife's Mini as well and buy a Subaru Outback. The 2015 model gets pretty good gas mileage and the car is perfect for NE PA winters.

Well, it's been a year now since the new hardware, but I am still running on the tune from Jason's old Jetta. His tune was for smaller injectors so it's not ideal but the car gets me from one place to another.
I was hoping that I could just get the tune nailed down and put this project to bed...

The pistons,
