I really don't care if any of you believe it or not. Air is not a problem. The custom turbo was adequate, for that setup, and the N2O was more than adequate. But feel free to keep explaining to everyone that I can't possibly have enough air, because you think it is a stock, or common hybrid...

This depends on who tunes it. My vnt17 with my alligator tune had lag between shifts. My rc tune has never had any lag ever. Oh, for crying out loud, get a grip, Krout. I realize that you are an RC fanatic, and that's ok. RC tuning works, and I have used it before, as well. I get it, and I...

This thread has been the source of some real entertainment value, for everyone involved, and it certainly has a lot of people thinking. Well, here's a few more things to ponder - First, if your car is making excellent power (for what it is), your business is diesel performance (and you...

I am not selling anything, here, and I am not trying to prove anything. Nor did I when DP was here. It is what it is, and the evolution continues. Believe whatever you want. That's ok by me. But, I would wager that you would be shocked at the number of us 'gear heads' that know the path to...

Not sure what kind of dyno 'momentum' uses. Ours is a Land and Sea, water brake, Pro 1200 set up, with 44" rollers. For more specifics on our dyno, visit www.land-and-sea.com

Wow! This is really silly! I just had a friend forward this link to me. Amazing. What some people will argue over... Yes, the car truly made 318whp, and has made 315whp and 319whp on the same day, and 2 weeks prior to the run we made for Diesel Power. And, this is WITH nitrous. A lot of...

02 Jetta TDI HP and Torque Numbers Check out my 02 Jetta's numbers. http://www.idc-solutions.net/VWTDIHPandTorque.html Not the best combination for reliability, but it can be done! Considering my Jetta made 67WHP STOCK (with 150 miles on it), you can do the math on flywheel power. Enjoy!

02 Jetta TDI HP and Torque Numbers Well, it isn't the highest HP we have ever seen. But - for a 1.9L TDI, it ranks right up there. Check out what my 02 Jetta produced, as measured at the front wheels: http://www.idc-solutions.net/VWTDIHPandTorque.html Not sure how long this combination...

Yanny - I know EXACTLY what you problem is. My car did the same thing, and the problem is BENT CONNECTING RODS. As a TDI Performance & Repair shop, we have seen this happen twice, with the last occurrance being my own 02 Jetta. The dealerships have no idea as to the problem, because the...

brucetmoose - We have VAG-COM, and have data logged with it, as well. VAG does not show any sensor-related problems, and timing is set at 54/119, which has also been confirmed by the local dealer. I have noticed an occasional/intermittant instrument cluster code, but have been able to clear...

weedeater - The only oil I use is Delvac 1 or Amsoil EU, and I change the oil & filter every 2,000-2,500 miles, since oil is relatively cheap, and my car has produced 208WHP, I prefer to change it more often. It must be working, because everything looks like new, with 83,000 miles, and propane...

brucetmoose - The battery tests, and all wiring harness/power supply tests are ok. I checked ALL of the chassis, engine, and computer grounds, as well. I even installed a new VW battery, but no luck. The wierd part of this problem is that the engine seems to run better, if the...

Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply! I will re-check the battery, under load, and also check to see if the alternator is doing its thing. I appreciate your thoughts! Tom

Here's an unusual problem for the expert minds on TDIclub: My 02 Jetta TDI (83k miles) blows a huge cloud of blue smoke on start-up, and the smoke has a purely diesel fuel smell to it. Part Throttle, at steady-state and low rpm, causes surging, stumbling, and backfiring out the exhaust. Once...

Thanks for the info! I'll re-post this on the appropriate forum. The ECU was programmed by Jeff (RC), and was set up for the 3bar MAP, although it now has a stock ECU in it. Thanks for your thoughts! Tom

Another piece of info is that the engine seemed to run better with the timing set above the window. It ran well, for about a mile (and then I set it back down), with the timing set at 135/126. Please post ANY possibilities you can think of!! Thanks, again! Tom

Upsolute vs WETT vs RC - my experiences and Dyno Results Oh, boy. I haven't spent much time on the forums, lately, but I thought I would throw in my $.02 Which chip is better? GOOD QUESTION! It all depends on what YOU consider better, and is directly related to YOUR driving style. I...

Does anyone have a part number for the 3.0bar MAP? Please email me at T_Calvert@msn.com with any info. Thanks for your assistance! Tom
