TDI Conversions Discussions on converting non TDIs into TDIS. More general items can be answered better in other sections. This is ideal for issues that don't have an overlap and are very special to swaping engines. |

Good to know on the reset while rolling.
Just loaded a tune revision on the drive home I can already tell its better. Ill report back results.
In the mean time I did slap together a cold air pipe. Dropped intake temps down 5*F when at full operating temp.

Not much to update other truck is running great. Tune is much better in terms of random overboost. I can still make it do it if I drive really really angry. Ill revisit this when I put a bigger intercooler on.
It is starting to get cold so I finally hooked up the glow plugs. Just setup a relay and momentary switch. Also made my own harness.

I need to do a cold intake like you did.
I'm using the stock samurai air cleaner and it's a bit sketchy.

4.56 gears are installed. Massive improvement. No lugging at all now and I can now use 5th gear. Next up bumper fab for tire clearance and big FMIC. The goal is to be 10*F above ambient at operating temps.

Looks like I need to make a keystone from what I have been reading. I noticed MPG dropped a tiny bit and just thought it was my heavy foot and winter temps also it was slightly falling on its face over 3K rpm.

Its the case relief valve. Yea there is no medium size link for the pics anymore for some reason but if you click on it you can see full size.
You can see in this post explaining the issue and how timing will fall off once it starts to back out. http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.p...10&postcount=7

Ah,never knew such a thing existed,that is a great piece of hard to find info.
Did you notice a smelly exhaust? Trying to figure out why my exhaust has
no smoke whatsoever but stinks bad,never did for the first 6 months or so.

Smell like unburnt fuel smell? Or like microbs in the fuel burning up smell? You may need to treat your tank if you have some very old diesel in there or any bio-mix stuff if you run that. I always run straight diesel. I have essentially a straight pipe so I get a slight smell at start up and then nothing unless your standing 5 feet from the tail pipe. And its what you would expect.

The valve could be the issue. I would pull the valve and keystone it no matter what. Some guys were reporting that it backing out just 2mm was affecting timing.
