I've looked at so many TDI swaps that seeing a TDI in it's natural habitat seems strange.

Sorry I'm late to this one Austin. I wish I had your vast TDI knowledge. I could really use it right about now. Great job of showing the removal. You were able to show way more than I thought you would. Especially going over the top of the motor.

Thanks for the heads-up about Xman! I ordered his 15/17 hybrid for the stockish resurrection of my '00 Jetta sedan, along with rebuilt injectors with DLC1019 nozzles from DBW, EGR cooler delete, 3 bar MAP, etc. Hoping to fire it up and do some preliminary configuration this weekend, and the full Malone tune on Monday. Thanks for all the good info in your videos. 👍

You should make a complete mod video on this car, I’m loving it! Super clean man, great videos by the way!

Put a little grease on the drill bit and tap to keep the metal chips from falling in. The vacuum cleaner is a good idea too.

Had an 04 TDI beetle that I did a VNT17/22 hybrid, tune, intake, EGR delete, and turbo back straight pipe...fun little car after that! I had too many projects and got rid of it. I wish I had kept it to put the TDI in a Suzuki Sami for offroading.

Why not stage 7.25

If you load the tap up with grease, it will catch and hold most of the metal chips while also lubricating the tap. Then follow with your steps of insuring there’s no metal chips inside.

Yet another awesome video! Keep up the good work!

I purchased the mild upgrade of a vnt15/17 from xman after watching this video. My Vnt-15 had finally had enough so it was perfect timing. Dropped off my ECU at Malone this afternoon to be picked up tomorrow. Kinda kicking myself in the head for not going bigger but I wanted to retain my ridiculously good fuel mileage.. I have full pd150 Tip kit, deletes, 2.5 turbo back, south bend ect. I want to upgrade to the DLC 1019s but having a hard time pulling the trigger at around $700cad. Well see what the stock injectors can do.. Never had a tune before ! Thanks for the advice on xman turbos brosk

I'm sure a nozzle upgrade may help you more down low and up top. I have a tdi that someone threw an 11mm pump and was debating this turbo. Your lag didn't seem apparent so may just spend the extra coin on this one

Good video, Where did you get the intercooler piping?

Are those XXR’s? Some good looking wheels. I need to start collecting PD150 parts. With you being on the Eastside, I know it gets cold over there during the winter, with “that certain” thing Deleted, how do you stay warm?! Haha I freeze my ass off here on the Westside.

I had this car a few years back it had been rebuilt just needed paint. I miss it so much 😭

Hey man nice video! What size rim an tire you running there? What offsett?? Thinking of a similar set up but silver

nice EGR off, have the same in my golf4, same engine; U don't need this plastic sphere, it's vacuum accumulator for extinguishing flap(?) which was on EGR so it's expendable.... 😶‍🌫

Sounds great..is it a straight pipe?

you ever get to dyno this austin? or a guesstimate on how much it made after installing the 1756?

Hi Austin, I'm from Alberta Canada, great Video. question for you I have a 03 Jetta TDI, and just blew the turbo on it. I have the 11mm injector pump with just the stock injectors and a mild tune its not crazy fast but very fun I love it, my question for you is would you go with this same turbo you have?

@herbscheit2061

Go with a vnt17,did that,injectors and programming and 3 bar map sensor and works well.

What kind of rims are those on there? i really like that look but maybe in black instead my car is silver. That color on the black car does look sweet tho!

Can it be tuned so you get less black smoke when you're getting on it? Seems like either too much fuel, or you need more air and would make more power?

i thought the website was a scam because they want less than 2000 for upgraded turbos for a v10 tdi so i'm glad they at least do ship parts lol

I'd be interested to see a cost breakdown of this car, similar to what you've done for the red and green truck in the past. Here in Canada we are getting screwed on gas prices so I'm looking to weigh out the cost of a more fuel efficient daily that I can still enjoy.

Take it from a fellow Canadian. The only issue you'll have with these cars are the salted winters for rusty body panels (especially where the fender meets the side skirt). And also in the winter you're gonna have to block off the front grills or this thing will NEVER warm up. 99.5-03 are the slightly more reliable engine (ALH) than the 04-06 (BEW) 1.9 TDI. THE BEWs ate cams if you used the wrong oil (which a lot of owners did).

@jeffoneill4290

@@RandomlnternetGuy Fellow Canadian here also. If your having to block your front grills in the winter to get heat, and warm up to temp then check/replace thermostat or coolant temp sensor. As for the rusting around the front fender to the side skirt, remove the inner wheel well plastic. there's most likely 3-4" of packed in dirt and debris that builds up right in the corner there that always causes the rust or the fender to be pushed out a bit. Don't mind me. Just puffed a bit, felt like some typing.

Mine has a tune, larger turbo, stage 2 cam, manual swap and nozzles. Gets minimum 47mpg even more on longer trips going faster on higher speed roads. You can find a balance between power and fuel economy. Fastest fuel efficient commuter setup on mine as I could

I hope if you search in KZread for people who converted this jetta to pickup & see it next project soon

Autin, you should try and figure out how to hybrid the VW J TDI LOL get 150 MPG LOL VW made a gas hybrid...

Here in Portugal an 1756vk not v can't do 230hp, only with pd130 (asv) or pd150 (arl) can get more than 220 or 240hp. Vp 110 ahf need 520 race stg1 to get more than 150hp

Hello, xman turbo is good quality in turbo 👌🏻 well i think this

Curious why you didn't put the EGT probe in the EGR plate. This turbo is really tempting. I'm afraid it won't be quite enough, thinking maybe the 1856 for me. I have a BEW in a Beetle with Malone Stage 2, and I want MORE. Thanks for posting this video.
