There will be dyno time in this car's future. I'm thinking it can make 24psi safely and keep it there quite high in the RPM range. It's almost like a stock TDI up to 2000 rpm, then it comes unglued - gets to 20PSI real fast, and takes off.  I think the bigger nozzles will also change the spool characteristics.

Don't let my situation scare you too much 
I think 20psi by 2000rpm is probably safe. I was doing 25psi by 2000rpm and prior had spikes even higher by 2000rpm.

I still don't cruise around above 75 mph for long or flog the brakes though - so maybe the MPG makes sense. The lifetime average for the 12,000 miles since the swap is still over 60mpg. |
VERY impressive 
Id love to see what kind of Dyno numbers your getting with this set up.
60mpg and fun as hell to drive.. I frigging love TDIs

Oh I wish! I had to get home... We did get the TDI my mom has wanted though!
And we just barely made it over the hill Friday night:

No - much better deal.
235K
Dealer maintained
One owner
OEM steel skidplate
5-spd
New BFG Tires
Just needs a timing belt - due right now. I suppose I will need to do that before they start driving it...
The trip down to get it was rather exciting - we drove it to Temecula Friday night (500 miles) after work. We ran into some heavy wind and rain going down 5 and then got into a bit of a snowstorm over the Grapevine. We barely made it before they closed the road:
L.A. Times:Snow forces closure of Interstate 5 over the Grapevine
Saturday morning we accomplished our goal - get my mom her first TDI. We then drove the 500 miles back home.
And the weekend didn't end after that 1,000+ miles in the GTI TDI...
Sunday was great - My wife and I attended the Niello ranch run for the first time - over 400 VW's showed up!
2012 Niello Ranch Run - April 13-15 - Sacramento, CA
And we got stuck in the mud there... here is the mess:
I guess I need to resurrect the lifted TDI monster...

Hell yeah Mk4 shift linkage conversion!
I need to drive this thing some time... You're making me want to do a Mk2 TDI now!
My other thought is a TDI-powered Porsche 944 using one of these: http://shopping.boraparts.com/produc...roducts_id=690
Though, for emissions reasons, I may have to swap a 1Z into it first, get it approved by a referee, then tear it all back out to install this motor...
The 55+ MPG is particularly awesome considering the setup and how you drive

Got to the grapevine hours later than you, they closed it. :-(
Had to drive around through Mojave & Palmdale.
Your mileage is insane!

And yeah - the MK4 shift linkage is WAY BETTER than the old Corrado box it had before!
And that 16V PD would be sweet in anything - especially a 944! - and don't you dare take it to a referee - that's a good way to get screwed into a very long worthless process. If you go back into my original swap thread - I describe in great detail how to fill out the REG256 (Statement of Facts) form and have the DMV fix the title.
And I am surprised by the MPG myself - though I don't tend to spend a ton of time cruising at high speed... I only do it in bursts for fun. I'm also trying to make my brakes last until I get the Boxster over 300x25 on VR setup done and installed... I'm sure this is good for MPG.

I vote MKII Simplest conversion - most useful on a daily basis - TONS of parts bolt right on to make it unbelievably awesome... Rallye bits, MK3 bits...

Update:
Recieved the Titan 764 Injectors from Frank Saturday - Fixed the damaged insulation on the 3rd injector and installed them Tuesday. It's got a bit more power now - but has a bit of a shudder that improved slightly when I bumped the IQ from 2.0 to 3.2. This video is with the IQ at 2.0 – it is now at 3.2 and there is no smoke.
