I am about to rebuild my 1985 1.6td engine (mechanical head), it is in a 1981 Rabbit pickup. I want to know what performance upgrades I should do to it either during the build or after. Ideally, it will be a great street driver with a mean streak. Not looking to drag or rally it. Here is what I have done so far:
Giles pump
Intercooler
2.5 inch TT exhaust and downpipe
Any suggestions? I was contemplating a passenger performance intake manifold after the build. Thanks!
