Hello, I have a Volkswagen Golf 4 TDI.

Engine: 81 kW - AHF; Mileage: 150,000 km.
Transmission: DEA

Okay, I've heard and read a lot about tuning TDI engines, and I'd like to know what you would recommend.

Chip tuning a 150,000 km engine from 110 to approximately 140 horsepower?
- Are there any issues with the motor's durability, and will its lifespan be significantly reduced? What will the maximum speed be then?

Install a new turbocharger from Garett?
- What kind of performance increase can be expected? What is the approximate cost? And does anyone happen to know the exact model number (part number) of the turbo?

Install a different intercooler?
- What type of engine oil is suitable for that? (Mercedes E300 Turbodiesel)???

Gertiebe:
- Integrate a longer translation (if applicable, which one? Do you have a part number for that?).
or
- Install a different gearbox with a 6th gear (which one is compatible with the existing mounting points, and what are the model numbers of the gearbox?).


If you have any other tips or suggestions, feel free to let me know!

Best regards, Jens

and just try typing 'long hallway' or 'long corridor' in the search bar... next time, you can do that yourself or icon_question.gif.
