    Eurojet FMIC & DG Panzer Plate - fitment issues??

    I'm sure I'm not the only one who's run into this, but I can't seem to find a solution through the "Search". I'm trying to install my DG skid plate, but the two long brackets that I'm supposed to attach to the frame interfere with the plumbing of my Eurojet FMIC. Has anyone come up with a...

    Photos of some new kermaTDI products

    I'm not sure this is completely true. Jeff used my stock DP to build the jig. And we are still working through the fitment questions. I'm sure it won't be long, but I don't think they're selling these yet.

    TDIFaq badly out of date for performance mods

    LNXGUY, no offense taken. Just trying to make the point that an updated FAQ could be useful. However, I suspect that even it were updated you'd see questions posted regarding topics discussed in the FAQ (Not by everyone, but some. Those who struggle with the 'search' function now...). The...

    TDIFaq badly out of date for performance mods

    As a fairly new member, I take exception to this. I'll grant you that I should have used the 'search' function more when I got started, but I did try to use the FAQ. It didn't have the information for which I was looking so I posted the question. If the FAQ was more up-to-date, I may not have...

    My new 1852!!!

    No. Something new. Not quite as big, but apparently more stable. I basically asked Charlie for his recommendation based on what I had already done and this was his suggestion. He could probably offer more insight. Charlie?

    WORST Milage! (Due to heavy foot)

    When my car was stock I was averaging 38-39 mpg. After... Well, I've seen more than one tank under 25mpg. I'm sure it has something to do with the 110+*F ambient temperature and the WOT everywhere I go.:o I've had tanks over 30mpg since doing the mods, but I just can't seem to make it...

    try to beat KERMA's Customers Service

    This is getting to be beyond creepy! I blew my turbo the same day as you. I've had all the same conversations with Paul & Charlie. I ordered the same turbo. And mine will be delivered tomorrow! AND I couldn't be happier with the level of customer service from KermaTDI!! Prompt...

    1852 turbo or vnt-20

    I have heard that the 1852 is a bit better than the vnt-20. My understanding is that on the vnt-20 with ST3 is capable of more HP but takes longer to spin up and usable power band is higher in the RPM range. My 1852 left Kerma today and should be here tomorrow. Hopefully, my car will be...

    Is that the same as the PD100 Stealth? I talked with Paul at KERMA yesterday and the 1852 is the one I'm leaning towards:D

    blown up turbo !!!! GRRRRRR

    No more warranty. I drove ~1/4-1/2 mile before I shut off the car. I assumed the smoke was just a result of being overfueled. As soon as the oil pressure light came on I shut the car off. The race injectors are actually in and have been for a while. The turbo was pushing ~25psi...

    blown up turbo !!!! GRRRRRR

    I can't help but laugh a little bit. I blew my turbo this morning too! Lost all boost and must have blew a seal because it drained all the oil out the engine and sent a good portion of it out the exhaust!! My car is an absolute mess, just hope the engine is okay. Trying to get a hold of a...
