Re: Tdi upgrades

Oh yeah, if the guys' really crazy about performance, he can have some head work done to lower the compression. This will allow for more boost and revs, but when you get to this point, you're taking your TDI more over to the gasser side. Economy begins to diminish.

i'm here in europe still, i was really close to buying pd150 pistons, rods and crankshaft to lower the compression to about 18:1, and possibly increase the boost a little bit... using a vnt20. however i changed my mind. right now i'm driving a opel vectra rental, its a 1.9 diesel, but with 155hp. it has a terrible low end, turbo spools at 2200rpm and redline at 5k, then it is ok. it is definately like a gasser... this is something i dont want i reazlied, so i'm not going to put a bigger turbo to get more hp and less toarq's
