    EGR delete with cat still installed

    As I understand it, EGR's were created to make the TDI be more environmentally friendly; something about unburnt fuel in the exhaust get burned completely after the go around. I've continued to wonder how the EGR "selectively " sends unburnt fuel into the intake mixture. I've also learned...

    Big(er) Brake Upgrade. (Edit: Installed w/pics)

    What is the largest brake that can fit a 17" wheel that will not require changing out struts and knuckles? Would Touareg brakes bolt right in? CC? My reasons for bigger brakes is purely cosmetic. The 17 inch Traklites look bleh with the stock brakes.

    **solved** 2015 Golf TDI - white smoke from the front of engine, but no overheating and no trouble codes

    I suppose nothing can be done as a preventative measure? Such as a grease spray to the bearings? Changing out the timing belt and bearings way before the factory's recommended interval is the only solution.

    Cr190 turbo upgrade

    When doing a turbo upgrade do you have to change the injectors, get an upgrade on the intercooler, and fuel pump? And if it is a 6 speed manual, a clutch upgrade?

    #2 Diesel vs JetA1

    I met a pilot who has access to Jet A1 and he told me that the sulfur content is higher, and that it is more energy dense than diesel. I had to do my own investigation and there are different websites with different opinions. I was intrigued by what this pilot told me he did with this JetA1...

    Mk7 golf TDI DPF/EGR DELETE

    Does driving like an old gramp ( slow acceleration, rarely going at high speeds on freeway, etc.) cause the EGR to get clogged up quicker? I used to have a B5 Passat that had to get a new EGR, and that replacement EGR would get clogged up. When I had that car I drove it to get max MPG's and...

    TDI jetta diesel additive to use and how often?

    There is a pretty scientific thread about additives. It was about testing the wear characteristics of each additive. Top of the heap was some biofuel, followed by OptiLube. Stanadyne was much lower down the list and Powerservice even lower.
