StealthTDI's 1998 Volkswagen Jetta

What makes my '98 Jetta special besides the engine?  Nothing, if you believe your eyes.  I'm conservative.  Therefore, I don't like anything eye-catching on my car.  I think "stealth" when choosing modifications.  The car before you has an additional 70 bhp and 150 lb/ft, vastly improved handling through suspension tuning, upgraded lighting, an upgraded stereo system, and a hidden communications suite.  Plus, it serves as a commuter, traveller, workhorse, and weekend racer.  But you'd never know it by passing it on the street.  One more thing which makes my TDI a little special: TDIs were somewhat limited in the MkIII platform.  That and time alone has made MkIII TDIs somewhat of a rare find these days.  On top of that, I'm also the original owner, having purchased the car brand new on January 31, 1998.   :-)  Read on to see what's beneath the skin of my Stealth TDI.

I drive the car all over the place at the drop of a hat.  It has nearly 400,000 miles on it and still runs like a top.  And that's with about 80% more horsepower and torque than stock.
