Hi and welcome to TC forums.
Lots you can do with the PD engines.
May I direct you here http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/ for some inspiration.

thanks, great info. Since im using the car as a daily and considering the traffic i think it will be better to go with dmf or it has nothing to do with it?
That would be my choice on the pd engines. They are not that smooth even with a dmf.

Agree totally. I have a 2.0 TDi PD 170. DMF was replaced at around 130,000 miles, cost circa £1000. Get the clutch done at the same time - it's parts only whilst the 'box is out and adds around ninety quid to the bill.
I'd never swap a solid FW in place of a DMF. The DMF is there to protect the whole drivetrain, not just to make things smoother and more comfortable. There are stories of broken crankshafts and worse as a result of a solid FW fitments. The DMF allows the engine a degree of 'independence' from the rest of the transmission, it's not just a case of suppressing rotational vibration downstream of the DMF.
Nice car by the way, far better built than my Passat and the PD 150 is very very tunable.
