You're so right, specially when we already know that 99% of what he says or post are complete bollox...

I'd nix the TDi just because they're rare here.

A 2-3 year old Corolla Altis is plenty roomy, they're a million of them around. You can convert it to LPG and save $$$$ on fuel and maintenance. You can go 400 kms on a tank of LPG.
And you can paint it pink like a bkk taxi.

The picture above shows the "PD" type engine for which the PD+ unit from TDI-TuningBox is suited. There is a circular connector at the end of the cylinder block and a slave pump mounted as part of the engine. No fuel injector lines are visible from the pump. On models such as the Audi A4 and VW Passat the engine is mounted at 90 degrees to the one show above. The circular connector and slave pump can be found to the rear of the engine bay on such models.



The picture above shows the VP type 1.9TDI engine fitted to earlier models, the fuel pump is separate from the engine and the fuel injector lines from the pump are clearly visible.

A lad I knew in Pattaya bought a truck.

Nice truck, big wheels, big suspension, big tires etc etc.

Had a D4D bage on the outside of it. Looked the business. He paid 500k or so for it.

Mate went down to see him and he was bitching about how much it drank. Mate opened up the bonnet to take a look and said " you daft **** it's the old 3.0 diesel it's not a D4d"
Of course it is said the lad. it's got the badge

It's the 130hp engine, it has been confirmed now, but even if it was the smaller, I still would have bought the car.

I doubt you'll get as much as 26 BHP from a 'tuning box' in such an old engine. I presume you mean a piggyback ECU that will increase the boost of the turbo and the fuel/air mix. You'll get an increase because of the turbo but you'll also get increased lag at lower revs as a result. Makes up for it though when the turbo is spooled up and in the mid to high rev band you'll notice it.

In non turbo diesel cars without other modifications they are an utter waste of time and money.

Your ample torque will be the crucial factor when racing against other vehicles at speed or overtaking.

Dalton, sounds like you've got a good buy. I do think the Tdi is still better than the VR5.
