Hey,

ALH lover, first time tuner
Car: 2003 jetta wagon ALH Auto 180,000km bone stock
New Nissens turbo (previous owner)

Would like to upgrade in stages, since it has a new turbo, I would hate to tare it out right away
Phase 1: stage 1-1.5 tune eco tune and manual swap
Plan is stage 2 southbend daily clutch
Max out stock tune with stock turbo/injectors and best economy possible with power on throttle down
5 speed swap
Boost gage

Phase 1.5 or 2
DLC 1019 or 764
3bar map
2.5in exhaust - straight turbo back with resonator (dont want drone)
Eco tune with power when throttle down
Exhuast temp gage (best ones and best install options? Though egr block off plate?)

Phase 3: 180-200hp (max safe mods for stock engine)
GTB1749 turbo ?? Still researching
Front mount intercooler
Pref not to do engine work at this phase (arp studs) is 190ish hp to much?
