I’m worried about the extra power causing longevity issues, am I right to be concerned?
A- Modern engines are considerably over-engineered. TDI engines can typically withstand roughly double (often more) the stock power output without issues, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t areas that need attention. If you plan to chip your car and upgrade the injector nozzles then you should probably also budget for a new clutch. The stock clutch is usually fine with either a chip or nozzles, but not both. Of course these observations are also relative to mileage, wear, and driving characteristics/conditions. If you have a US PD100 then you should consider upgrading the turbo if you want to see the full potential of the factory injectors (more on this in the next question).
