A quick post to ask if anyone has used a cylinder pressure sensor to tune a tdi.
VW are planning to fit pressure sensing glow plugs to some of their range this year, for closed loop combustion management, so I guess the price of the plugs is set to fall (hopefully they will fit other tdis).
I've come across a number of companies producing GP sensors for the engine development/scientific sector also companies supplying pressure sensors and logging equipment with PC interfaces for medium and large industrial diesel engines.
I also found this site who claim.
"We have worked hard with suppliers and developers to bring the cost of this equipment down to a level that is accessible to all, not just the pros"

No pricing which is always a bit worrying.
With this kit a decent chip tuner should be able to achieve great results.
