i am just wondering what perfomance mods u guys would recommend for 05 jetta tdi
How much are you looking to spend? Since it's an '05 that means it has Pumpe Duese injection and that means that no power mods are cheap. Injectors are $400/each for a total of $1600 to change your injectors.
The power mod that I've been toying with is a
KermaTDI Q-Loader and performance tune for $735. Guys that have that mod are reporting an increase of 30 to 40 Hp and around 40 ft-lbs increase in torque. There are other tuners out there such as RocketChip and others.
(on edit) I forgot to also mention that the KermaTDI Q-Loader allows you to go back to your stock tune in a matter of minutes which is great if your car is still under warranty.
If you want a site with good information on TDI's it's
TDIClub. There you'll find more information about maintenance, tuning & performance, and other things that you won't believe it.
I just got my '04 Jetta flashed with Rocketchip and wow :shock: , it really hauls but now. Well worth the money. It was a PD100 HP and now is about a 130 HP :roll:.

you'll want to remember to save up for a clutch kit when you start adding mods. When you start slipping, replace it with a sachs solid flywheel kit and never look back.
what else can u do? cause i am thinking about some easy horsepower with rocket chip
I own a bone stock PD and this is what I plan to do in this order.
Injectors aren't worth a whole lot of ponies as far as I can tell, it should be one of the last things you do.
EGT / Boost Guage
Chip Tuning
VR6 Clutch, pressure plate, solid flywheel
Front mount intercooler and improved piping
PD150 intake
Free flowing downpipe and possibly de-cat
Bigger turbo
Limited Slip Diff and other traction mods
