delete the EGR, and complete exhaust system and replace it with straight pipe or add a muffler, and you will gain fuel economy instantly and drastically reduce engine problems (like clogged intake or clogged exhaust)

I was thinking that a lot of the European diesel stuff didn't have that, even in America. I think you should get another Jetta and do exactly that. lol

One of my buddies has a tdi golf, with a straight pipe ending in a side exit and a smoke switch thing actually rolls coal...

edit: just opened my facebook and there was a picture of a bronco with the same set-up as that RC LOL

I almost got another jetta after my last one got totaled. just couldn't find another one in near as good of shape as mine was in for a reasonable price. and then I found my truck and fell in love instantly and took it home

only thing that sucks is you have to ship your ECM off to have it re-chipped and reprogrammed to delete the EGR and gain any kind of electronic performance.

I think you should get another and hotrod it. That way you'll have two hotrodded diesels.

Stolen:

"mother is in the kitchen making dinner for her family when her daughter walks in. “Mother, where do babies come from?” The mother thinks for a few seconds and says, “Well dear, Mommy and Daddy fall in love and get married. One night they go into their bedroom, they kiss and hug, and have sex.” The daughter looks puzzled so the mother continues, “That means the daddy puts his ***** in the mommy’s vagina. That’s how you get a baby, honey.” The child seems to comprehend. “Oh, I see, but the other night when I came into your room you had daddy’s ***** in your mouth. What do you get when you do that?” “Jewelry, my dear. Jewelry"
