TDI or just TD (intercooler yes or no)

Hello everybody... im back whit a new project.

I just bought a VW Golf 1 from 1983 (in US known as VW Rabbit) whit a 1.9 TDI engine. The prevorious owner replaiced the 1.3 or 1.5 engine whit a 1.9 TD and a zelf made intercooler. Now i'm wondering what would be better for FE?

Intercooler means it's cooling the compressed air down before injecting in to the engine for more power. A turbo also means more power but when driving normaly it's better for FE.

It also has 2 fuel pumps because when going Full Throttle the machine gets to few diesel. It feels like a race car when hitting the gas... Think about to remove the second fuel pump.

I have no numbers jet because i just bought the car yesterday.
