I also had this happen shortly after leveling up from a Malone Stage 1.5 tune to the Malone Stage 3 tune. Not sure if it was wastegate-related in my case or not, but this is good to know for sure.

Nice! @roder

The TDI wagon is looking good! Is that photo from up the hill off of Lakeway? (I grew up in Bham)

Interesting. In my case, though, I have a 2006 PD that doesn’t use the common rail methodology for delivering fuel under pressure to each injector. Do you know if the n75 on PD engines should be oriented the same way as they are on the ALH’s ?

For a PD, can I assume that the N75’s 3 connection points (where the 3 vacuum lines connect to N75) should be on the low end? Or should they be “facing up” ?

Is it important for the n75 to be mounted to where its 3 holes (which connect to vacuum lines) are sticking up vertically? Or just important that the right vacuum lines are connected to the correct holes? I’m seeing different answers to this ^ question when I look at different diagrams. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@snakeye - did you end up figuring out which dog bone engine mount brand performs best?

Note that Fine Tuning Performance will not touch your car if there’s any non-OEM spec parts on it. Also, they’re the newest Malone dealer in the greater Seattle area, but won’t even sell you any tunes that they deem to be not 100% street legal (such as Malone’s EGR delete add-on). 💩

@JDSwan87 @Tdijarhead Any chance you’re aware of aftermarket alternatives to the retaining clips for holding the pipe in place with higher boost? (Connecting Intercooler pipe to “pancake pipe”) Seems like VW went backwards here from ALH’s nut-fastened metal rings to the newer BEW’s...

@prblue @sptsailing @Haydex Any pointers for how to keep the boost pipe/Intercooler pipe from coming loose again? On the BEWs there are spring clamps (proper name?) instead of the more tight and trusty bolt clamps (as seen on ALH’s).

Duly noted @Franko6 and @CanadianALH . Definitely hoping to avoid selling out for a bmw and stay VW. ☮️ If I can get up around 170HP I’ll probably be pretty happy, and it sounds like the stock PD injectors can potentially support that. I believe Frank also recently mentioned elsewhere that...

@burpod - gotcha. is it wrong that part of me is excited to return to the dreary PNW to work on my car and get her re-tuned? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello - where’s the best place to find a SMIC upgrade for a BEW with EuroJet no longer making them?

@Vince Waldon - JIC you’re looking for upgraded BEW injectors, @Franko6 may be able to get you squared away.

Right on! Excited to get my maintenance issues ironed out (now that torsion value is back to about 0.5) so that I can get re-tuned by burpod.

@GlowBugTDI and also @boertje - that’s awesome to hear. Everyone has had great experiences with BURPOD, it seems like, and he’s a good dude. Thanks for chiming in. MPG and start-up improved for you both, it sounds like, but how about performance improvements (acceleration and pull when...

Sad, but 100% true. Typically can be had for about $1,400 for PDs.

Then I shall add one! JK. Touché.

@J_dude - If it’s not doable (11mm pump), wouldn’t about 200HP still be achievable with the upgraded turbo, exhaust, cams, tune? Or bigger nozzles absolutely a must in your opinion?

2006 BEW w/155,000 miles. Mods: 1752v MuchBoost turbo, Colt Stage 2 cam, 2.5" cat-back exhaust, 3-bar MAP, Malone Stage 4 tune, 3" slam via coilovers, metal skid plate, KermaTDI turbo intake clamp.
