First off, where do you get the kits and pump?

Thanks!!

The asv/egr valve has to be removed/unattached from the intake manifold during the install. Should be mentioned in Andrews installation write up which can be found at Aarodriguez/fixmyvw.com. I found the install a breeze when carefully following the directions. The hardest part for me was one lower nut that I had to start by feel. But a racepipe is not required.

I got my kit from diesel dubs / German diesel motorwerks. Having it installed at Das European Autohaus outside of Houston.

At GDM they made it fit on my car. He did comment that he forgot how tight it is without the EGR delete. The fuel line has a significant bend as it comes out of the pump and the fuel line actually is in contact with the plastic housing for the oil dipstick. So far that hasn't been a problem, but time will tell. It's been a few thousand miles so far.

Is that the stock fuel line? My kit came with a new, slightly different fuel line. I did have to shim out the dipstick just a bit.

GDM acquired the parts and did the work for me, so I really don't know where the fuel line came from. I would be willing to bet, however, that Les at GDM is quite capable of fabricating a modified fuel line from the stock parts and maybe that would save him some money on his end.

No doubt. In my opinion the line should not be chafing up against the dip tube.

That was my thought too. I'm hoping it isn't really chafing. There are marks on the tube, but I suspect that happened during installation. I'm also encouraged because the tube is plastic, i.e., softer than the metal fuel line. I'm also trusting Les, certainly a very fine and respected mechanic. I'm planning to go back to GDM for other work. I think it's worth the trip. I'll see what he thinks when I go back.
I'm also hoping that one of these days the EGR will come off!

New pump is installed, thanks for your help! The tech said it was actually quite difficult bending the fuel line, but they've had the car idling for a few minutes after priming. They're cleaning it up now, then taking it for a short test drive, then we'll be done and I can take and post pics!

Pics will come later. I forgot that they'd put the engine cover on, and I'm not going to mess with that until I get home and have some daylight. I should be able to get around to it Friday or Saturday.
In the mean time, the car drives great. I don't notice anything really different at this point, but I don't expect to, other than I don't need to worry about a fuel system grenade anymore.

Care to add a MK7 to the list, still a CR technically 
Should be installing this week or next, still waiting on two small fittings. Also have a very sweet complete OEM filter replacement to test fit, but will have to wait for the filter on backorder till March! OEM filters are $25-$40 depending on brand and are rated at 20k mile intervals. The Cim-tek filters should be good for 100k and cost $22!

Here's the pics from my install. Drove over 400 miles on it so far, from stop and go city to 85+ mph highway (I love TX speed limits), with some acceleration runs hitting 4,000 rpms sometimes, and no issues at all. Runs smooth as butter, and if I didn't know it was installed, I couldn't tell a difference.
The car is a 2012 Jetta TDI 6MT with 139,617 miles, a Buzzken DPF delete kit, and Malone Stage 2 tune. I was on my third OEM HPFP. Had a catastrophic failure at 60,000 miles and 80,000 miles. VW warrantied both repairs.

Looks good! You might want to cap off the auxiliary pump inlet/outlet. I just removed it completely.

Yeah, the tech said it's not used anymore, but left it on for now. I'll end up getting rid of it to clear out space and weight, probably at my next service.

Here's the pics from my install.
Your fuel line routing sure looks better than mine! In particular, it's still secured in strategic OEM places as it makes it's way to the fuel rail. In comparison, my fuel line seems to be a bit too exposed and just hanging out there. I wonder how big of a deal it would be to get a new fuel line and try to improve the routing, and if it really matters. I know my instal was done on a very busy day at the shop, so maybe time became a limiting factor to make it fit and look neat and secure too.

Installed and running great in a MK7! Will have to trim a tiny bit off the engine cover as it rests on the hard line, but that's all. Andrew couldn't have been any more helpful throughout the process answering all of my questions quite quickly. Looking forward to the filter install as soon as filters arrive.

Matt-98AHU can do the install, but....he is in San Anselmo. Check out the link below and his thread. Very respected mechanic in CA. I actually met him a few years ago at a GTG south of LA. Perhaps you can pair a road trip with your install. I know I would if were still in SoCal, lol. I like to drive.

Anyone have any problems since the install? I just had some issues where I'd lose power and get a flashing glow plug light, and the P0087 code, but the car would still drive, but in a limp mode (I could still get up to highway speeds, just doesn't have much power and doesn't do hills well). After clearing the code, it drove just fine. Got home, and it drove fine the next day too. Today, I hooked up vcds to do some logging, drove around the neighborhood no problem. Go back home. Later, go out with the wife and have the problem on the highway again. Hook up vcds, get some logs, clear the code, and happen to be logging when it happens again. I drive to a safe spot to stop, shut off the car, clear codes, and it won't start. I try to prime with block 35 and vcds says the fuel pump is on, but I don't hear anything. Try again, nothing. So now I'm waiting for roadside assistance so I can get home.
