Ben,
This does include the water pump--and thanks guys for getting your kits from me, I appreciate it :). So far I'm coming down with (or have already shipped) 6 kits.

BB, can you please provide a full TB kit for me? Please let me know.

I recieved a PM a few weeks ago from Charlie (Kerma) that he will be there. I believe that Paul (VailPowder) had said he would come too. Should we begin a list for those needing nozzles & tunes?

Oh, I forgot I have an 11mm pump in the garage that I planned to have installed with my TB change.

If a spot opens on Sat or Sunday, can I please be on the "waiting list"? Mon/Fri won't work for me.

Oldpoopie, do you perform injection pump installs (hammer mod if needed) as well? My timing belt was changed about 20K ago so I don't want to replace it yet. Friday would work for me. If it doesn't take too long to install, I'll be free Sat and Sun as well IF you think the job can be squeezed in.

And I guess I'll start the tuning list. Don't know what day/s the Kerma crew will show up, so I'll keep it open.

Tune/Re-tune:
1.LiquidblackDZL (available Fri-Sun)

Nozzle install:
1.

I can do pumps, but as it stands now, Sat and Sun are full. Monday I'm doing one 11mm install already. Friday night I may be able to do it, but it really depends on how late I get in, since I'll be driving down from Portland.

Ok. Can you please put me on reserve for Friday in case you come in early enough to do it? I'm upgrading to an 11mm, so aside from the pump, is there anything else the job requires? Will the pulley need to be replaced, or do we just swap the old one onto it?

I've spoken to the 'oldpoopie' and my place in Walnut Creek will be avail for work on Friday. Since oldpoopie will be leaving Portland early Friday am and driving, we probably won't see him in WC 'till 6 pm or so.

If you need work, get to oldpoopie directly since I'm sure it's first come, first served. I will provide a PM at a later date giving an address for those coming by.

I love being "The Oldpoopie" LOL;)

At any rate, I'll plan on leaving portland early in the morning, putting me at walnut creek by somewhere around 4pm I hope. Should be enough time for a pump install or timing belt.

LiquidBlackDZL, can you commit to fri evening?

Ben, currently I think we're booked. However if you'd like to show up on Friday evening, or Monday morning, we may be able to get you squeezed in.... I'll have extra belt kits with me regardless, but if you want to do this you're going to have to stay on top and check in frequently. It may be prudent to send me your cell # so I can give you a shout if it looks like we can get it done.

I'm probably good for a Kerma tune and PP520 install, but wanna exchange emails with Charlie before I put my name on the Tune list.

Will there be anyone who can pop and flow test injectors at the GTG? Or perhaps someone who would rent or loan me a compression tester for an hour? (I've been to a timing belt GTG but am not familiar with how a nozzle swap gets done at a GTG.)

regards,
Eddy

Yes, although I may bow out soon because a friend is coming up from San Diego and we'll hang out most of the day. That may always not work out though...we'll see. :)

ABT, thats up to others. I'll only have time to do the timing belts. Even just doing that I'll be moving at a feverish pace to get it all done. I'm sure that someone will be able to assist with injectors, but the turbo may not get done. We'll see how late thing are going. Since your last on sunday, we may be able to depending on how we all feel and how fast we progress.

Oldpoopie, will there be anything else needed for the 11mm pump swap? I.E. new pulley? Or can the old one be bolted on the new pump? Let me know if there's any other parts needed so I can be sure to have it ready. Thanks

One more timing belt

Sign me up for a timing belt replacement on my
'04 TDI Jetta Wagon. I live in Santa Cruz so I figure
things can't get much more convenient that this.

Monday works for me if no more weekend slots
are available.

Please let me know what parts (kit) I need
to supply and quote for labor if possible.

Thanks!
