you can't do much I guess.

Ask on tdi forum is your best bet as the mk3s are mostly petrol. Sorry for not being much of a help.

well, I intend to give it a better turbo, so I want to be sure the internals can handle it, on top of that, i'm going to be reconditioning the engine and thinking i'd like to put new + improved pistons, cams etc etc, just wondering what my options are

Have you considered a swap for a mk4 tdi lump, as those put out stupid power/torque when mapped?

So I hear, thing is, i figure with the price of the engine/loom/box + hassle! - I might be better sticking to my AHU - could be wrong...
