I so wish I could drive a modified 1.6td to see if that engine is worth screwing with. I'm not happy with mine stock as far as power with k24 or t3 and know there are options out there.What I'm scared of is my mileage for my commute is not great in my 79 rabbit. I'm only getting like 42-43mpg so am thinking the tdi is the route to take.

My worn out '85 Jetta got better mileage than that from a much heavier car. To be down on power and mileage sounds like you may have some underlying problem that should be cured before trying add ons.How high is the compression? How much boost are you running?What is the IP timing set at?Flow screw position?Enquiring minds want to know.
