99.5 VW Jetta TDI Acceleration

Some stomp and go fun in my 99 A4 Jetta TDI. Injectors are Sprint 520s from kermatdi.com, and the chiptune is RocketChip Stage III. The car has 212,000 miles and the original clutch, with no slips!

Does this have a solid flywheel? If it does, is it lumpier when changing? Thinking of getting a solid flywheel if/ when mine goes. Also, whats the bhp on this after the modifications?

It has a solid flywheel now, it didn't when that video was made. The only big difference I notice is that it is a little less smooth when taking off from a stop.

what are the main differences between the 99.5 and the 2000 models?

[compu85]

The clutch and shift linkage are the two big items. The clutch is better on the 99.5, the shift linkage is much better on the 2000.

@bilalahmed2123 yes, i have this configuration now on my 2000 golf- i drive it like i stole it and still get 46mpg.

A solid flywheel, at least from what I've heard, is a pretty good idea. I put the VR6 clutch/G60 flywheel setup in mine and it still feels stock but can hold that extra torque.

drive it like you stole it
