Hi Jamie
glad to see you have found your way over here
you will start spending more now that you are here too
Hey Eddie, yeah probably..
That being said things seem to be pretty reasonably priced which is a plus. No doubt I'll be hitting you up for more parts soon.
Welcome aboard Jay. We are a friendly bunch on here. Glad to see you here as well as UKMKIV'S
Thanks mate. Lots of the Mk5ers it seems over there post up here too!
Your golf is awesome and you've gone through ALOT! Your golf has helped you through hopefully :)
Thanks buddy, yeah I don't know what would have happened if I didn't have the car. The way I look at it, without setbacks you can't appreciate it when everything is going well.
Wow, great transformation!
Cheers pal.
Just enjoyed reading this through ..I also have a 1.9 105 tdi ..ive had mine mapped but mine only made 142.2bhp ..I don't find mine any better on fuel though ?

Glad you liked it dude.
Who did the map? Anything between 140 and 150 is about normal for these engines bud.
As the owner of a pretty much standard 1.9 diesel you have just became my hero. Lovely car and some nice performance figures!
Thanks buddy. Yeah, it's not bad at all, I think it's one of the fastest 1.9s in the country, everyone seems to only ever mod the 2.0.
After reading it I am rather tempted to do some performance upgrades to my 1.9. Will have to have a chat with you at GTI fest about it :)
200bhp would be nice,
Will be interesting to see how low your JOM's are compared to mine
Yeah dude absolutely. It's very expensive after you get past a remap, you would need to uprate the clutch when going past around 160bhp as it will start to slip... you'd need to upgrade brakes, suspension, roll bars... On engine tuning alone I've probably spent over £4000.. as the clutch and turbo kit alone came to around £2600 in total, not forgetting the injectors and the other maps I've had over the years.
What engine code is it ? Take it its not BXE ? Bit worried about taking mine further after whats been happening to some BXE engines
sent using my own fingers
It's a BKC as the car is 04, I don't think BXE came along until later. I wouldn't worry about it bud, there's a Leon with a BXE on Darksides site, running over 260bhp and so far that's fine. I think it's like the old Mk4 PD150 camshaft issues... it just happens or doesn't happen.
