you've got the EA827 engine they actually have more in common parts wise with the 1.6gti engine than most other 'dub diesels. but they do follow the same mechanical fuel injection system as my '96 polo 1.9 (releative monster @63hp!!!!) looking at the otrque curve I found online (now lost the link) I run in the torque sweet spot and use 1700-2250rpm until I'm in top then P&G (engine on), so far I haven't done any mods other than maintainence and I've drag mine beyond +30%EPA

Good luck and get some pics up - I wanna see the beast!
