Hello everyone new here on the forum, Just picked up a very clean 05 Jetta TDI last friday that was owned by a VW mechanic and the only mod that was done on the car were the front lights and grill (grills going back to stock). Finished my last project and needed a new toy and commuter car so hands down bought a VW Diesel 
I like my germans and my diesels and have had quite a bit of cars in the past including a plain jane never moded 01 Beetle TDI back about six years back that I sold to my neighbor at 577,000km and still is running to this day! My other cars include:
Past: 05 s500 Pullman Guard, 02 S55 AMG, 96 S420, 94 E320, 97 S420, 03 SLK 320, 01 VW Beetle TDI and allot of W124's
I live technically at my hobby farm at Blue Mountain (emissions exempt:Kand have an apartment downtown Toronto.
So some things I already ordered and picking up this week:
QUESTIONS:
I'll be doing some forum data digging!!

QUESTIONS:
- For coil overs what brands are everyone on here using? (Best bang for your buck)
- Common problems or things I should keep an eye on
- If I'd go straight piped will it throw a code? Also any droning at hwy speeds?
- Any good Tuners around the Toronto area?
- Also I'm deleting the EGR, where did you guys get your materials?
- Also larger injectors (.205's), View point and also thinking of doing them prior to tuning. Any view points or suggestions?
I'll be doing some forum data digging!!
