Hello - MKIV TDI Jetta

[ives]

Hello.

I'm 'ives' on tdiclub, vwvortex and now here.
I've got a 04 Platinum Grey Jetta GLS TDI....



...bought her in Connecticut where I'm originally from, though I've driven it across Canada, all over Alaska, through ~30 states and have been living in SD down on the Pine Ridge rez for about two years now. In the last year I've thrown about 70,000 miles on it commuting to work and around the hills. Now she has over 205k. Daily driver... usually average around 40-45 mpg.

I've been slowly upgrading as things need replacing but recently I've put some serious money into getting her into the next 'stage' of her life so I can put another 200k on it. Just getting the tuning right now and should have it at ~330 ft/lbs and 150 hp....

So, I've got:

Performance
-Borg Warner S7 Turbo (via Kerma TDI)  
-aNUT SMF Clutch Kit
-Bilstein TC Struts
-Kerma Q-Loader w/ Custom ECU Tuning
-Various Kerma intake repair parts

Electrical
-Chinese E-Code Headlights w/ leveling motors
-Retrofit Source 3k HID Fog Conversion
-LED Euro Rear Fog Conversion
-Euroswitchs
-Optima Red Top
-NeoGeo iPod Integration into stock Monsoon

Other
-Dieselgeek Skidplate
-Shorty antenna
-Set of Montes for the summer


I saw a windshield banner with the hashtag at Lowes today and look y'all up. So, looking forward to seeing what everyone is up to. Tokša.
