Hey Guys,
I just installed my VB, and PD150 intake/egr/airbox/maf/tip. I guess I really had no idea just how different the ARL and BEW are.
The issues I ran into:
BEW has 4 coolant hoses going to the EGR cooler. ARL has 3.
BEW has 2 Vacuum lines going to the EGR/Intake: "flapper" on the intake and ?? Is the second for the ASV? Is it for the? One thing is for sure, it is an electronically controlled EGR Valve.
BEW has smart actuator on turbo (I knew this, luckily )!
So, now I have a bunch of questions and was hoping that people could help me out!
Let me explain where I'm going with the project/tune. I am going to delete the EGR, however we have visual inspections here in Vancouver, so I need it in place. So, I'm gonna keep the cooler in there with the coolant connections, but with a block off plate at the exhaust mani between it and the EGR pipe. Should I put a second one between the egr valve and the pipe there?
I need to get the ASV back, but ovbiously it cannot be controlled via electronics on the ARL intake/EGR (or can it?!?!?). Should I buy some vacuum sensors from an ALH and go that route? Can you tune the ASV to use vacuum instead of electronic control? I can't stand that my car diesels on for a second after I turn it off, and I am scared of a run on/away.
The vacuum hose that operated the flap on the intake on the BEW - what did that do? Do I need it? Can I use it for something else?
I have all sorts of CELs on my car, but I haven't run them yet with VAG-COM (will in a couple of minutes; I'll post back here). I know this is normal, and I will get a bunch of them deleted via tune (smart actuator, MAF), but is there something serious I have overlooked by unplugging all this stuff?
Thanks in advance for any and all help and wisdom. What a resource this forum is!
Cheers,
