so i picked up this tdi a few months back, right now it has a bad dpf, i have a check engine light, and flashing glowplug light. its very slow, not in limp mode, but sluggish. I'm looking to delete it so i can have full power, what is the best way to go about it? I'm looking to do it as cheap as possible as I'm still a teen and don't have consistent income. rawteks kit + a tune is about $2000 which i don't have right now, but i will in a few months time. i also looked into doing a hood stack for the time being, what all do i need to do a hoodstack? im fairly new to tdi's, so just looking for some advice. should i try a hoodstack or wait a few months til i can afford the whole delete kit? thanks!

You should figure out what all codes you have. There might be more wrong with it than just the dpf.

Most likely the P240F is causing your limp mode and flashing glow plug, indicating a clogged egr system caused by a cracked dpf (noted by P2002).
As a quickie remedy, you could remove the egr filter pipe and clean it out with brake cleaner. Only tools you need are a 13mm socket and 5mm hex (socket is easier than allen key). Don't lose the metal gaskets
The cheapest pipes are in europe (profidiesel and trwperformance). I dont know who has the cheapest working tune.
