I would like the new TDIs if they didn't have a DPF attached to them but we will see how a programmer injectors and a turbo will affect these new TDIs in the new year. im sure they will find a way to get rid of those DPFs

everyone is talking goin green on this planet, i wouldnt call tdiclub tree huggers because they are tryin to help the earth

i won lie, tdiclub can be a pain in the *** and not helpful at all, but if you dig ... the is alot of real good information out there

have you guys tried vwvortex.com?

The forum at TDIClub is a bit different from here for sure, but there is a wealth of information concerning the TDI's you won't find anywhere else as far as I can tell. Not to mention the fact that once you go to some GTG's and get to know these guys, you will find that they are not always the way you might think, just that the info isn't necessarily as public as on some other forums.

any mods you would recomend for the PD 5.5-06 pre DPF years I have owned a 5sp 5.5 and now have a 06 and both would never get the 50+ mpg everyone talks about, morelike 40-44.

Holy thread revival batman! I am in the process of haggling on a TDI for my YJ and, if that goes well, taking the COTY swap kit and using it on my
ZJ as well, though I want the higher HP and torque of a "bombed" motor first. SO I am educating myself on how to build a TDI now.
