I don't think I've shown off my oh so snazzy engine on here yet, so here it is.
I've installed a GTI 4:2:1 exhaust header on it. I have a 1Y inlet coming for it which should help it breathe better. I plan on yanking the head this winter and doing some P&P work as well as cleaning out all the crap from when it had an EGR. Gross.

Here is a picture of all the crap in the intake from the EGR

Very nice... and you sure can't complain about the economy.
Now if you only had a Giles pump.

BTW, that ain't intake soot... *this* is intake soot:

Typical TDI... thanks EGR system.

I like. If there's a more bulletproof engine out there, I'd like to see it (heavy machinery excluded!).
The TDI manifold I put on the 1.6 was clogged to the point that you could barely fit a pencil in the inlet.

The "jet clean" method works REALLY well, even if it is a bit scary.
