Darkside Developments has several options for that engine.

Tested the actuator with a mity vac. Takes 90 s to drop from 20 - 15 inHg. Takes 4.5 min to drop 20 - 10 inHg. Takes over 15 min to drop 20 - 0 inHg. I don't know what new specs are but let me know if that's out of spec.

$25 USD shipping for just the actuator.

I've got a used one if you want it.

Checking the harmonic balancer for a missing bolt/tightness might be a good idea.

The adjustment was mainly because I ran a tune for the stock turbo with the 1749. When I finally got the proper tune I had to readjust. Otherwise I probably would not have had to mess with it.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I have been running a Darkside gtb1749v for a while now and I think it is the ideal turbo for a BRM. I'm tuned with a Malone 24 psi on stock injectors and it has great early spool and plenty of power. Took some rod adjustment to get it boosting properly but its...

Are you wondering if upgrading to BEW injectors in a BRM would be good in the long term? I suppose it would if you were planning on upgrading the nozzles down the road for a big power build. Then you could actually make real use of the 8mm plungers. However, it's much cheaper to go with pd150...

Shoebear, what supplier did you order yours from? I'm searching ebay and see various types (although they probably come from the same factory ;) ).

That engine in a mk1 body would be my dream 4 cylinder tdi!

Nice work. But if you were going to those extremes, wouldn't it have been worth it to put in a 3.0 engine?

It's not that hard to replace rods. Aftermarket rods are generally cheaper and stronger than oem. Check kerma for replacements. Engine can stay in the car. I would pull the head to verify not bent valve stems and to measure piston protrusion. You may want a shop to do the work if you are not...

You bent number 2 and 3 rods for sure.
