My 2 liter torquemonster is complete and running very very strong. At 17 psi of boost it's the strongest thing I've driven in a looooong while. Sorry, it's not a TDI, it's an IDI.

Hello
Newbie here. I have a 04 Jetta TDI 5 -spd. with 113,000 miles

Was bone stock until a month ago when the turbo started making really neat screaching noises

So now the VNT-17 upgrade is enroute. The straight pipe is installed. EGR gone. Will be going with the Kerma Q-loader as soon as the turbo is paid off!

I went to a 17" rims with a 215/45 tires. Was a massive improvement. Rides a little rougher but well worth the tradeoff.

Is this car a 2004 or 2004.5 with the PD motor? The PD's are known for turbo problems but VW regardless of warranty usually takes care of it really quickly to save face.

The VNT-17 and 19 are nice though, eh?

Did you know that you can stuff a 2.5" turbo back exhaust under that car without doing any suspension mods?

If you have it riding different with those wheels I hope for your sake you've got an evolution aluminum skid plate on that thing. If not, kiss your oil pan and car good bye.

Cheers.

Yea I know they had problems with the turbo sludging up, but mine was a bearing failure, so it was my pocket. I also went with the EGR delete kit to prevent any future intake buildup.

The tire combo is actually only about 1/2" shorter than stock so I haven't had any problems yet, but with all the critters running around a skid plate is definitly in the plans.
