Sweet!! Can't wait to see it all together again! Remind me what your car looks like again. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a picture of your car, just carnage.

Zagarus,
I have since added the FMIC, chrome exhaust tips, door handles, a bumpin sound system and lowered it. I need to find low pro's now.

Digging the black
The other thing that I have always wanted to know is what will be better. Of course your clutch didn't hold out on the 1.6, but you should be able to get a feel if the 1.6/1.9 combo was more fun than a straight 1.9 setup.

Well lets see what is gonna change here Lucas, and we can use our 'brainpower' to predict the outcome. lol
Bigger displacement, which is caused by just a longer stroke? or is it in unison with a bigger bore as well? This should increase power and torque levels with reduction in how quick it will attain rpm's. Once spinning the added rotating mass should also give higher torque numbers up top in the power band shouldn't it? Passing Power
I think it will be an upgrade but only time and Burn-out videos will tell lol

Yeah, but I have been in the garage building circle track engines before where on paper it looks like you are really going to have something. Then you put the new 434 small block in and it is the biggest sled ever and you wish that you had the old 415 back.
This is a little different, because it is almost the same block to block, but it could still not be as fun to drive. Our 434 probably had more HP than the 415, but it didn't wind up like the 415 did. It seemed to have all its power on top. This diesel should be the exact opposite of that...
Bottom line is I would like to see what Edna says about it when done. If he changes no fuel settings and what not which one will he think is better. Obviously if he has a new clutch and can boost more without burning the clutch up the 1.9 should have it. Time will tell.

The 1.6/1.9 has WAY more get up and go than my 2000 tdi...
it was a LOT more fun to drive but them again 2000 golf is heavier...
it is good that it's the same head, car, turbo, IP EVERYTHING.
same intercooler... i wonder what the weight increase will be.
the 1.9/1.6 definitely reved up fast. once the tires started to spin it went crazy.
