Hopefully the weather turns a 180 and starts to warm up.

Cool! Should be interesting to see what your car puts down.

Yes - I can e-mail you a data file from last years runs. It's a .csv file that you can manipulate in excel or whatever software you want.
I received a couple different files last year - some with Torque and RPM and others with RPM and HP - you can calculate the rest easily enough, but there was some inconsistency in the data between runs.
This time I'm going to make sure we get an accurate RPM measurement as I think this is where the error came from last time - trying to hold 2000 RPM exactly is harder than you might think and if you're off by 50 RPM you're 100 RPM off at 4000, etc.

The dyno doesn't have a "tach" pickup from the motor. they match rpm on the dyno to wheel speed.
What's the max mph you care to allow? I wanna run to about 135mph for a pull, the other pulls to 120. I'll buy more pulls if time allows.

Sadly I won't be able to run the Passat. I sold the PD130 turbo and put the stock turbo back on with a stage 2 tune. Maybe next time with a bigger turbo

Well, some operators other other dyno tend to dislike high speed runs much over 100 or so, so I was checking.

hopefully they get it sorted out Matt. yeah I can imagine driving the jeep gets a little pricey compared to the jetta.

Can't wait to run the car. Rims were supposed to be done at the powder coater today. Have to wait till tomorrow. Going in Wednesday to mount and align. Car developed a roughness when slowing down and gets a bit better when fully stopped. Did a Liqui Moly purge, seemed to help but then came back. I still need to have the injectors checked since changing nozzles. Anyway, I hope to get some first hand advise from everyone. Should be fun. Do we need to bring anything?

i know this isn't really a doing stuff, but if i were to bring a can of diesel purge, would someone be able to lend their expertise and help me do it? i know its really easy, but just don't want to f something up

I just did it on Sunday after church waiting to eat. Bring a empty bottle (water bottle). Easier to make sure yiu don't run empty. Did you get two tubes with your diesel purge?

Just dug the two tubes I got with my kit out off the garbage just in case you need them.

doubt, i would guess its kind of a roll in as you get there. i know that its going to take about 2 hours for me to get there so i'll probably be there about 1030-11

I'm leaving from Racine (Caldonia) about 3 -1/4 hours away. I will be taking my wife and 2 teen age girls to the hotel so they can hang out at the pool while we're having fun.
