That's pretty cool. I chipped mine and swapped to a K&N filter. I bought bigger injectors but haven't installed yet - I have the wimpy clutch and it's already putting out plenty of power.
Have you fiddled with VAG-COM yet? Well worth the price for tuning the motor. -Mike Joe Street wrote: >So I've collected most of the bits to try adding methanol injection to >my Golf TDi.
