vdevilu's Oil Burner Wagon
I knew I would miss the space, but I wanted something fun, and ecomonical. I thought to myself is there such a car? Then I remembered that VW had these neat turbo diesel cars that could get 41/49 MPG. So I started researching online, and found out there's a grassroots tuner following for these cars. I test drove one and I was sold. I never thought I would mod it much as it is now. At the time, I already started to restore a 1948 wood sailboat. But Hurricane Isabel changed that, so I turned to my car. The Car: 2003 VW Jetta Wagon Turbo Direct Injection I would say my car is a a fast cruiser/sleeper. Vw did something odd for annoucing specs for the TDI, they used wheel #s instead of crank #s. So stock my car is 90WHP/155ft# at the wheels. First mod was tint, and I had the ECU remapped. I like the fact, I can have an ecomical fun daily driver. The low end torque makes a pleasure to drive, no more downshifting to get into the powerband, plus driving in traffic is much easier. crawling in 3rd. HeeHee. I also found out about Biodiesel. refined soybean oil, as alternative to fossel fuel. I was amazed the first time I used it. MY engine ran smoother and quieter, and felt good that I was good for the envorenment. I don't run it all the time but when I can, I do. Here's a list of mod's so far on the car. Engine -EGR deleted -DieselGeek RacePipe -Engine Block Heater -Stage 2 ECU remap -manual Boost Controller holding 18 PSI Body -Pizzy Clear Markers -S2000 Stubby Antenna -Class I trailer hitch -Hella Supertone Horns (not installed yet) -20% tint back, 35% tint front -European Aspherical Split Side Mirror Set -European HeadLights with integrated Fogs -European Taillights from the VW Golf wagon Interior -Alu console trim -Jetta Monster Floor Mats -InDash cupholders -VDO vision boost gauge (blue LED) 0-30 PSI -Steering Column Gauge Pod. -Audi TT Alu Pedal Set -Purple/UV led interior lights Suspension -Koni Adjustable Sport Shocks/Struts -Eibach 1.3" Lowering Springs -EuroSport Strut Bar (not installed yet) -Shine Rear Sway bar (not installed yet) Brakes -Brembo Slotted Fronts and Rears -Pagid Brake Pads -Goodridge SS brakes lines (not installed yet) Hopifully during the Start of later winter/early Spring these power mods. Garret VNT-20 Turbo FMIC Catless/Mufflerless 2.5 exhaust system Race fuel Injectors 11mm fuel pump in-tank fuel pump oil cooler fuel cooler LSD Sachs Stage II power clutch set some set of rims some pics Summer 2003: stock with tint Sept. 2006.

something differant then everyone else, so i like it. Plus im always curious to what the tdi's can do if modded. My only suggestion for your future mod list would be a full 3 inch exhaust, but i like to see the direction your going in

you could easily get a full 3 inch made, you pick whatever muffler you want and take it to an exhaust shop. I have a good shop in mind, i will get his number and pm it to you.
