Thanks for the information, Devon. I do have a hybrid turbo on order. Things could get interesting.devonutopia said:Plug & play. Tuning will need doing to optimise the software.
However, you will want either a stock vnt17, or a hybrid vnt17 to really make use of the uprated injectors as well.
A Skoda Fabia PD100 TDI over here ran a comfortable 180bhp (crank) with just these 2 things (stock vnt17) and some mapping, and an intercooler.

That would be a nice increase from where he's currently at. Sounds like injectors are in my not so far off future. Just wondering if I should go straight to R783 injectors and skip going with stock PD150 injectors...........Farfromovin said:I'm going to guess 20whp and 20-30 ft/lbs of torque.

Any thoughts? I do plan on getting a Stage 2 Colt cam after I get the injectors, just to see what each mod is increasing power by.

I don't know! But I'd sure love to try!!LiLredTDI said:250? is a FWD car even safe at 250hp
Probably a good call for now then to just get PD150 injectors and when the time comes get some R783 injectors when I decide to get either one of the DC kits or I'm thinking at GTB22260vk wouldn't be a bad turbo either and who knows in 2-3 years there might be a better option out there...........dieselpower04 said:With R783 in PD150 injectors, you will have more fuel than a 17/22 will handle.

That was my thought. That way the tune world can get some serious time to max out what can be done from them. For a 17/22, ARL injectors are enough.3L3M3NT said:Probably a good call for now then to just get PD150 injectors and when the time comes get some R783 injectors when I decide to get either one of the DC kits or I'm thinking at GTB22260vk wouldn't be a bad turbo either and who knows in 2-3 years there might be a better option out there...........
I hear you there and it all requires more $$$ especially for us PD guys when it comes to injectors.dieselpower04 said:That was my thought. That way the tune world can get some serious time to max out what can be done from them. For a 17/22, ARL injectors are enough.
Its the never ending game of: Add fuel, need bigger turbo. Add bigger turbo, need more fuel!!!

Two nights ago i made a fatal mistake with my current mods.dieselpower04 said:Amen brotha! Worth it to be known as a bad a$$ diesel tho!
This might make you feel a little better about how much you spent.LiLredTDI said:Two nights ago i made a fatal mistake with my current mods.
I broke out the calculator Parts, shipping, more parts, more shipping, machineing fees, more shipping, changing my mind= more parts, more shipping, European tariffs, PayPal fees. chachingchaching$$$$$$$$$$$
Bad thing with modding is each time the thrill of the mod after completion gets shorter and shorter after
I'd say you are one lucky man to have a wife that is so understanding. I'm single, so I can get away with spending more than I should on some mods, but finding a wife that will allow that is second to none.O.C.TDI said:This might make you feel a little better about how much you spent.
I did the calculator thing a month or so ago and realized that last year alone I spent more in just parts (severely discounted parts) than I paid for my car new. I totaled up to just over $18,000, the wife asked how much I spent and so I told her straight up, she said dang, are you done yet? I said almost. I just need a few more pieces. She is very understanding when it comes to my obsessions.
The list of things to do will never get smaller, with each new mod there are two more that "need" to be done.
If I had to pay people to do the work, I would have doubled what I spent last year.
That doesn't include what I have spent in previous years, the year before I only spent about $7000. Year before that was about $3500.
That is why I recommend only getting a tune and stopping, unless you already have the mod disease.
O.C.
I have known and accepted my problem. I am just happy that I found a lady to accept me and my problems.3L3M3NT said:I'd say you are one lucky man to have a wife that is so understanding.

This is why I never add up what I've spend to mod anything I've owned, because it would make me sick and I would realize that I have a problem and I should probably seek help
My first mod after a catback was the PD150 injectors followed by a tune. Once the nozzles were installed the car had more power, and considerably more pull in the upper RPM's, it did smoke pretty heavy. After the tune, the smoke disappeared and the power stayed about the same. After a couple of tune updates I ran at 22psi solid with a very light haze. I can't say that the injectors will give you any advantage without a turbo to match them, I can say there were no ill effects.coalminer16 said:Back to the injectors. Ryan lined me out a while back as well but I haven't installed yet due to other things. Is it kind of pointless to install the 150 injectors with out the turbo upgrade. I don't have the money yet for the turbo as I am also doing a TB and a suspension upgrade not including having a baby in a couple months. I can wait on the injectors if it does no good without a turbo upgrade. I was thinking of tacking it around the time of the timing belt job this year. I do have a q-loader already as well. Also, maybe a dumb question but is there a shelf life on the PD injectors as to how long they can sit without any seals or other things inside going bad. I know more on the older style injectors found on the rabbits and not the PD system.
dont know about the interior, but you will need to purchase one new seal kit for each injector for install. You will love the nearly $20 apiece price tag on each kit. This for a couple of o-rings and a washer.coalminer16 said:Back to the injectors. Ryan lined me out a while back as well but I haven't installed yet due to other things.
