Ugh! Good luck my friend!

How much for the engine complete?

If long block falls through, let me know!

So I bought a $750 1998 Golf 4dr with a 2.slow. I love the car but miss my diesel. I am tired of dealing with IDI issues (glow plugs in top shape, lack of power, lack of aftermarket support) but I don't want an electric TDI. So I am planning on building a M-TDI. I have a Cummins 6bt pump core...

Was the previous owner at the Scooters Meet in WI?

There is someone in S. Il I believe that has a TDI where "1st is useless and 2nd is just like it" according to Diesel Power magazine

Yo bro! I know its hard to do, but keep that foot outta it! :D

You seem to be able to read well. Go to http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/tech_center/tech_center.html It helped me in sizing turbos for my Cummins. A turbo guru who helped answer many of my questions said BSFC was around .36-.52 depending on how much fueling was there.

Things to do to the 4BT that worked on 6BT VE's. Tap the fuel inlet for -8AN or 1/2" line Make the high throttle stop screw MIA for full throttle travel 3.2MM cam plate Custom make a 6 blade vane pump KSB timing advance spacer to add more dynamic timing Run 15psi inlet pressure on stock front...

K$N is the WORST filter for ANY turbo/supercharged engine. Look and read these 2 links. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/airfilter/airtest3.htm http://www.billswebspace.com/AirFilterTest.htm If you want to trash your turbo sooner, get the K$N. No matter their advertising in major diesel...

Never seen a 5-600hp Cummins get 26mpg but 18-22 I have seen. The guys claiming 26 are Canadian or reporting what the lie-o-meter tells them.

Diesel run lean, no matter the injector. Your primary MPG mod is the removal of the weighted right foot. Replace with a lighter model and you should be good .;)

Manual or auto?

Auto or manual?
