I want to write an application that i can detect if the TDL rootkit is active on the current machine ... any ideas? I tried getting the MBR or listing the drivers but the driver intercepts user mode functions and serves me a clean copy of them.Are there any other methods ?

For getting MBR or infected driver from live working system seems nope.
