Title: Gt tdi tuning options
Post by: Povey on 05 January 2012, 20:01

Hi all I'm thinking of getting a mk4 and letting the wife keep the mk3 ;-) but I'm thinking if I don't get a GTI 1.8t I want a GT TDI but what options are there in regards to tuning potential, remap/chip induction kit? Intercooler? Turbo upgrade? Dump valve? I'm not to sure on diesel tuning so any help would be great

the diesel can be tuned similar to the 1.8t i.e better turbo,better clutch,brakes but unless ur doing loads of miles go for 1.8t
or buy 1 already done :smiley:
