I am looking at doing my best on the MK4 TDI Jetta.

Out the gate I am planning on bringing the tires from 205s to the stock 195s as thr seller suggested. I have a maintenance kit on the way from FCP Euro(amazing site. 100% lifetime warranty on everything), and the hammer mod to reset the adaptations in the injection pump. Hopefully full deletes this spring with 2.5inch turbo back exhaust this summer.

Im all ears on proven suggestions. I've thought about a full under tray to reduce wind drag, saucer style rims or hub caps, new wheel bearings to lower rolling friction as best as possible.

Have not searched a nose splitter yet but will now.

I had not considered the boat tail yet. Ill have to look more into that.

My goal is to build ecnomy on a budget. I will do all my labor and hope I get it right.
