I haven't quite figured out a reasonable cost effective 200hp for my TDI yet. Been on alot of forums and people seem to be a little overzealous. I ended up settling for Sprint .520's and an F1 tune last fall but with summer coming around that want comes back. I wonder if PP520's and a VNT 17 with a heavier tune would get anywhere near 200. The VNT 20 spools far to late to get any good economy out of it just driving around.

@jlbash41 I'd recommend talking to the owner of the car, he seems to get pretty good economy with race 520's and his vnt20.

@SuperChicken13 wait ALH or PD engine?

[SuperChicken13]

@clifborder4fm nope, stock internals, head never even removed

[clifborder4fm]

@SuperChicken13 did you change out the internals to handle that power? rods, pistons..

[SuperChicken13]

car was a prototype, made some of the biggest power numbers of its time from what I knew, no car with that extensive work or that cutting edge would be problem free, but the issues were minor stuff that happens on any custom swap.

[SuperChicken13]

That car had thousands of dollars of mods in it.

Very nice man. Have a 2004 TDI 207BHP, 310ft/lb sportline myself and love it. Traction is a slight issue though lol. I see some people saying 209bhp is shit but for diesels they dont know what they are talking about. I've hopped off impreza sti's and shocked evo drivers keeping to their tales pushing them and top out at 160mph and still get on average 50-55mpg so how could you complain.
