I used to be more into horsepower, so a VW with a chipped 1.8T motor would be cool, but now I'm really seeing the advantages of getting a TDI... whoah, what the hell was I talking about? Oh yeah VW w/ TDI is cool.
hell yeah! glad to see a dubber in here. MKII GTi or GLi with a 16V makes for a nice affordable whip with a lot of character. I just sold my Corrado about a month back but am holding onto my '87 Jetta Coupe w/ a 2L 16V swap in it
. As for the TDI, gotta love em. When chipped the torque gains are spectacular.
