The fact you cant find them, tells you they are going to be expensive, if they  exist. lol

this is true...

VW themselves used a 1Z engine tuned to somewhere in the region of 200bhp and won rallies with it!

Just drop a 130/150 pd engine in for less than you could buy pistons, cam an turbo.

Tunned to hell 1Z - 200bhp, VW would have spent thousands on this engine.

130/150 - remap 190bhp - Could be done for under 1.2?

Would need to look into exhaust sizes for the mk4 engine, but might be able to get away with maybe an 8v gti exhaust size? Not sure.

[Adam]

The TDi exhaust is the same bore as the GTi I thought?

Drop a mk4 PD in it and turn your car into a real sleeper.

check the german websites (ebay etc) for diesel tuning as they like there soot machines, oh and the higher powered 1.9td has the same exhaust size as the 16v

Unless it's crazy power you're going for 300+ I'd say the standard guts should be able to take it.

Just rebuild it with new stock parts and you should be fine.

I know of a S/c ABF which is nearly 300hp with stock internals and that get's thrashed rotten

[MK3TDi1996]

forgive my ignorance but, what's s/c abf?

Supercharged 16v engine

I would say your clutch will go far before any engine internals.

Before you do any big torque mods get yourself a VR6 clutch and a G60/16v SM flywheel.

[MK3TDi1996]

so i'll need a 3 piece VR6 clutch and a G60/16v SM (what is SM?) flywheel?
