Hi, im new to this forum, and new to volkswagens in general, i have always been a rice burner kinda guy but i just rode in a 2003 Golf tdi, manual with that diesel engine. I was very impressed with the speed of that car especialy for 90 hp. So i was looking into buying this car, but now im considering the 1.8l gti, becouse it has double the hp and i here its highly costomisable. so heres my questions...

1. how does the diesel version hold up to the 1.8l gti?

2. is it easy to upgrade the diesel to 200+ horsepower?

3. is the diesel worth it in the long run if your looking for a car to somewhat upgrade?

if anyone could help me out it would be awesome, i wanna make a desicion in a month or two.

p.s. sorry if this has been asked befor.
