Default Just Bought TDI

hello forum. got a tdi think its a great car, got a couple of upgrades id like to do to it, but am hessitant to pull the trigger on a high milage vehicle. the car has 150k. i know thats not a lot for a diesel but its still high, my first and really only concern is can the 1.9 with 150k handle upgraded injectors such as bully dogs 205 nozzles? thanks

As long as maintenance is up to date and the rest of the car is in good working order, 150k isn't that much. I'm not familiar with that brand but it should handle .205 size nozzles well. http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q_h...InozzleFAQ.htm See this article for more tips.

Your suspension could use a refresh too. Budget for that and it'll feel like a new car!
