You certainly can.

Here's mine..





KW V1 adjustable suspension with adjustable rear rebound valves.. Improved the handling out of sight and still rides great. Some of the other guys here that have been in the caddy can vouch for that.

There's a few engine management upgrades available from Oettinger, GIAC etc. I've got a TDI (turbo diesel international) piggyback module on mine.

wow sweet as how much did they set you back and who is the best dealer for them?

the other option would be to get a golf rear subframe setup and run regular golf coilovers. Preen's caddy is pretty sweet though, i've spent a few hours in it now.

Can't remember the exact price, but Dragan from inmotive is the importer for them and i dealed straight with him. Really nice down to earth no BS kinda guy (a true aussie).

Give him a call during office hours on (02) 88 125 299. I think he even gives a slight discount for VWW members too.

Completely different rear end man. I don't think that would work.

-Edit- Ahh gees and i was really liking having the only KW'd Caddy in the country...

Dude, don't go the blow off valve. As a diesel has no throttle, there's nothng to "blow off" against. It may seem a cool idea, but apart from not working as it was intended, anyone that knows diesels will figure you haven't a clue.

A larger intercooler would in fact be a good idea, as diesels run higher boost and thus have to deal with greater inlet temps, on average.

Otherwise standard turbo tricks work, free up the inlet, free up the exhaust, help it deal with the heat produced, and turn up the boost.

Just realise the turbo is the weak link, so don't go silly.

i wonder as a Diesel flows much more gas than the equivalent sized petrol just how bigger turbo we can really go???

anyone have any idea?
