Are ecodiesels good platforms for a performance upgrade?

Do they drop into mk1s without modification?

Thanks.

eco pump doesn't have a boost pin.
I swapped out my eco pump for a regular TD pump

Rude not to hotrod....ahh, I get it. I'm a bit slow, just like my N/A. I agree. She'll get boosted, nozzled, pumped and exhausted for all the extra ponies.
