Thanks guys! Some serious input! As for resale value.... Please read my posts again. Car will not leave my ownership!!
On the whole you should've bought a petrol version, it is gonna be a money pit.. The price difference alone between my car and a GTI or a BGT will buy me all before mentioned parts three or four times over. Fitment will be done by myself.
Warranty is NOT an issue.. PLEASE DO NOT EVER INSTALL A SIMPLE TUNINGBOX ON THE NEW TDI ENGINE! There is documented evidence of them causing bent rods!!! If you want a lil bit more power get a remap if you aim 130-140 with an ic from Seat Ibiza 2.0 TDI !not sure! You can get a little bit more.
I have taken in account that I will need better suspension and brakes, I have factory Gti suspension and brakes (just not painted red) which will be replaced by an eibach pro street coilover set or adjustable bilstein shocks with hr springs. Brakes: first better fluid, front brembo GT 323mm X 28mm, rear standard size rotor slotted and lastly good pads
Front upper strut brace by wiechers
Eibach or ultra racing front rear sway/anti roll bars.
uprated engine mounts
Tuning Diesel engines is indeed a dark art not tinkering

From what I've seen on the track around these parts and local tuners is that with a DPF delete, hybrid or 2.0 turbo, proper intercooler to compensate for bigger turbo these engines produce a reliable 170-190 hp and this is without spewing out huge amounts of unburned fuel famous black smoke.... Some even still run the DPF and EGR. So yes my goal is at least 200 and of course must stay reliable. So no propane for me. I know it's benefits, also seen how dangerous it can be... Better of with WMI but then there is the danger of hydro locking if engine is not hot enough. So should be ecu integrated and used as boost function because it helps lower EGT so engine can be pushed a bit more. This is also the big problem of these engines. When pushing them beyond 190 the EGT gets to the point where you are destroying the engine.
So the main goal is lowering pre turbo EGT, having the intake temps at bay with proper intercooler helps but not enough.. Custom ic piping will help maintaining boost and reduce ic pressure drop which is already hardly any..
Downpipe and Exhaust will be free flowing, slightly bigger diameter to eliminate exhaust back pressure...
I also think the injectors will be fine as is. The only thing I can think of then is porting etc and make a custom exhaust turbo manifold... Not a viable option..
Maybe fitting a 2.0 TDI engine would be nice, but then a whole lot of other problems arise...
Still I am planning on getting engine parts first then instal and get it mapped. There are a few good tuners around here and they are up to job and already have experience with these engines..
Ow turbo I can buy of darksidedevelopments. Currently 675£ , already has the right actuator for polo ECU. Only need to buy flexible oil drain. As stated on their site.
