99, is it a mk3 or mk4?

you need a bigger turbo to get much more out of it.. the turbo on it is TINY, and not capable of much more than what its doing now..

[roofis119]

99.5 new body style and i have read people modding to 18-23 psi and like i said anything cheap i have a 90 foxbody for the street but this is my daily that i would like to beat my buddy 05 or 06 tdi that is stock but just a little quicker

Gotta pay to play...you want a lot more power you gotta pay for it. And what's "cheap"? First step would be a tune...probably about $500 or so, depending upon the stage tune you get and supporting mods you may need.

Im tAlking about cheap mods ppl like the maf mod evry mod thinks like that lol 500 would get me a full tank an some more nos and my new 75 mm throt body like diode and resister mOdd

[Rockerchick]

Well then do those mods. Power comes with a price though.

[roofis119]

No **** lol college budget bro all the money goes to my stans gas and my wife lol thanks for stating the obv

[Rockerchick]

I'm not a "bro" first of all.

Second, I know what a college budget is like. I also didn't mod crap when I was in college (Still don't really...got a mortgage, student loans, and more important things to pay for. I do want a chip so I'm saving for it). If you can't afford it, you shouldn't be doing it. If you do mods cheaply, you run the risk of causing damage, which will cost you more. Do it right or not at all.

We've given you options. If you don't like them thats not our fault. If you think you can do something, then SEARCH!

throttle body on a diesel? your high..

if you know soo much about cheap mods, then why did you post p asking about what you can do?

go ahead, do the evrey mod, hammer mod, and all those other ones..

or be safe, and get some injectors and a tune..

[roofis119]

The throt is for the mustang lol see that is what im talking about what is the hammer mod and the evry mod im very new just a crash corse of the mods i can do and thank you very much for the post

idk what the particular mods are, im not nearly as up on TDIs as i am on IDIs..

use google. search..

use vortex search too..

being able to FIND the information is a more valuable skill than actually having the information..

[Rockerchick]

Do a search for those mods. TDIClub has all the info. But if you are doing the hammer mod, you need to have access to VAG-COM.

Honestly, it sounds like you need to read up and really get to know diesels a bit better than you do...

[Glegor]

have you removed the EGR valve, and cleaned the intake manifold? most TDIs need that done, and its a BIG POWER GAIN, if your intake was really clogged..

x2. We picked up our TDI with 114k on it and the intake was pretty darn clogged. Trans was trash so we never drove it before cleaning, but if you're at 150k+ and its not been done, its going to be pretty restricted and that WILL affect performance.

Thanks alot for the posts guys " and gals" lol really helpfull im going to look up how to get this tiny thing apart lol

[8gti16valve6]

Rockerchick and Glegor, you are saints!

If you know what a EVRY mod is then do it!

Better yet Roofis... do this...

1. Sell your TDI, (you don't know what you have)
2. Buy a honda
3. Cut the springs
4. Buy Cold Air Intake
5. Get an octane additive
6. Maybe beat your "buddy"
7. Still be lame

I assume you are talking about your motor, but some other things of yours come to mind...

[roofis119]

Lmao nother tuff guy talkin online lmao

If acting like your a hard ass on the pc is your thing and helps you sleep that cool but just know

[MXTHOR3]

Spend less time worrying about the car and more time in that ESL course.

[8gti16valve6]

the reason I told you what I told you was because I don't care about what people think of me here.

You are right, I am a cyber bully. But in real life, you are still an idiot.

LMFAO....

almost fell out of my PC chair from that comment!

[fastinradford]

I know how to do all the mods you are wanting, you can 140hp on some diode and resistor mods and fine tuning, but you are a dick.

you need vag com and egt and boost gauges to do it safely

and I know you will not do that.

[MXTHOR3]

Just toss a 3bar in there and blow your turbo to bits.. It will be quicker for a few seconds beforehand.

THREAD IS SOO FULL OF WIN!!!!

WTF is up with all these asshats in the diesel forum lately?

Seems to me like the troublemakers that get kicked off TDIclub come here.

There are no "free" TDI power mods.

You can cut your exhaust off at the downpipe for quicker turbo spool but it will still be limited to the ECU programing, VNT actuator and N75 valve.

Your boost is limited by the amount of fuel youre burning. No additional fuel means no additional boost.

Buying a new 3bar MAP will do little if anything without a chip tune.

The stock intake and airbox are better than anything on the aftermarket world so no gains from doing a sweet CIA.

You cant 'turn up the fuel' because its all controlled by the ECU, there is nothing to modify on the pump externally.

There is no BOV or Wastegate to mess with.

Your only options are new higher flow injectors, ECU chip tune, or bigger turbo. Best thing to do is regular maintenance and an intake cleaning then enjoy 45mpg.
