Are these gains worth $125, shipped?

GulfGolfTDI · Jul 27, 2002

Here are a few:

GAP -- Geek's Accumulative Power mod
DGIF -- DieselGeek's Increased Flow mod

OK ... so I had to downgrade it to a couple; some of them needed A LOT more work. They just aren't rolling off the fingertips like they did for MrMetal.

Me: "Its the DG Tweak."

Everyone will want the Chia Pet mod (Can Have Increased Airflow Powerband Extension Too) ... see, look at them lining up.

DG, any magic date when you can go public with this? You've got us on the edge of our seats; and please don't say it is a secret too.

I'm can't say, it's just a part on my car, like many others I've made.

Thanks for the compliment Matt

OK, Open mouth..... insert foot! Where'd the EGR valve go ?

SkyPup · Jul 31, 2002

It went South while the flow and HP went North.....

SkyPup · Jul 31, 2002

Great Minds tend to think alike!

LOL

I did not even bother to consult with Boundless during the developmental processes or stoop to ask for his opinion.....

SP: This is not what you've been working on, is it ? I thought you were working on an electric supercharger ?

Davin · Jul 31, 2002

sonnylowe, looks like that eliminates the anti-shudder valve. you do realize that if your fuel-cutoff valve in the injection pump stops seating correctly (which has been reported here more than once...) you may not be able to shut off your engine? Or a possibility of a runaway...

, lots of things are going on around here outasight, the possibilities are indeed Boundless.

Vroom · Jul 31, 2002

Sonny,
I saw that EGR mod on your car at waterfest... Nice work. I was thinking this might be what DG is referring to. But that CCV catchcan - are you making any of these? I was going to ask you at waterfest but you were busy at the time and I never got back to you.

That's a very good point!

I will be making the Catch Cans soon enough, keep an eye on my website.

DevanATL: I too am concerned a bit about the anti-shudder valve (for other reasons), but I have been running mine for sometime now with no problem at all, just a slight shake at shut down, and only sometimes. My only issue is with the EGR VagCom mod; I have been blowing MAFs left and right every sense I did it. I had the stock TDI MAF for over two years with no problem, and then did EGR mod, and starting blowing them (2.0L & TDI MAFs) out right after, I have gone through 4 in less than a month, some only lasting a day or less. I replaced all the wiring & the plug, and they still keep blowing. I have returned the setting to stock, and will see how it goes over the next week or so. I know this is off topic a bit, but you have to consider how you are going the defeat the EGR when using "The Tube", and if you really want to do without the Anti-Shudder Valve. I’m not "Boundless" by any means (I run the CCV By-Pass & EGR By-Pass), just something for you guys to think about.

SkyPup: That is one beautiful part, nice machine work, is it billet?

I could't answer this any better than SkyPup did

Hey:

The A3 and B4's don't have runaway problems and yes they use the same fuel shutoff solenoid...

SkyPup · Jul 31, 2002

Boundless has an A3, so he can check it out and report back the runaway results.

Davin has an A4, so he can report back his results with the Dawes Device.

If neither of them ever report back with their results, everyone can rest comfortably knowing that it is all still blowing in the wind....

I hope this is just coincidence, or at least something particular with SL's ride. Otherwise, the **** is gonna hit the fan!

Dieselgeek · Jul 31, 2002

Perhaps a poll to head off an error of small sample?

I really don't think "The Tube" has anything to do with the MAFs blowing, but I am still suspect of the EGR (VagCom) Mod. Time will tell.

tadc · Jul 31, 2002

I blew 4 MAFs *before* doing the vag-com egr mod.. since then, zero.

PWM · Jul 31, 2002

The original EGR doesn't seem to be too restrictive (when clean

) ..
.. AND if it still makes 4hp difference (which I still doubt

) ..
.. Then how much could be gained from those very restrictive IC tubes !?!

Any tries on the lower & upper IC tubes ? (Dynos !?)

Are these gains worth $125, shipped?
