Good thread, I'm a diesel nerd and I just recently got an AHU to put in my Scirocco. I used to have a 99 Beetle TDI that I had done some stuff to like PP520s, VNT17 and a Rocketchip 3 among other things and I loved it. I drove it with my foot to the floor most of the time and still got 39 and could get 53 on the highway when I wanted to. Just got a ALH 11mm pump for the AHU and I plan on getting GT2052 for it. I haven't decided on nozzles and stuff yet because I want to see a few more dyno runs from my friends with similar setups. Right now I'm collecting the parts to rebuild the engine except for the pistons since I need to measure the bores first to see if I'll need over sized ones.

CommieGIR posted:No, mostly just valve seats and guides. The #2 valve guide was GONE, it slid RIGHT out when I took off the retainers. Great, mine has 287k on it so I cant wait to see what it looks like inside  It ran like a top but smoked like a train. Thats the first time I've even heard of a valve guide sliding out.

Atomic Mitten posted:Awwww yes, I had this too (in the fetching red shown). My wife loved mine so much, we got a second in Silver. Both did 120k, between the two cars the only things to go wrong were one brake switch and one turbo. Cheapest car I'll probably ever run, I think the PD130 was perfect for this car - the 150 has a few troubling faults and the lower ones just were not enough fun - great first car. Sucks you've had so much trouble with it cause thats an awesome looking car and we dont get the 170hp over here. We have to steal your Euro parts and make them.

CommieGIR posted:I've bought more than a few Euro spec OEM parts, makes the TDI much more fun. Hah, yea, I've been checking tdiclub and vortex every day for a PD150 intake that comes out the left side of the engine and for the PD guys the 150 injectors are a nice upgrade.

Hey guys, if any of you use TDIClub you may know who oilhammer is. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and had a big part in figuring out the B5 chain delete. He's also a friend of mine and a super nice and funny guy. He has been going through a rough time recently which is explained in the thread. Because of this there is a raffle with awesome TDI related prizes (tunes, clutches, etc) that I thought some people here might be interested in. Even if you don't know Brian there is still cool stuff to win. The thread is right here The raffle is in the thread and right here Lets win some stuff and help Brian!

Race 520s would smoke wicked bad with those mods. If it is an RC2 with PPs it should run really nice.

Dattserberg posted:Just pulled the trigger on a 2011 Jetta TDI with 26k miles. Switching over from a 2006 Explorer so I'm pretty excited about the fuel savings. This is both my first diesel and first manual transmission daily driver. Really looking forward to all of the learning that's going to happen over here. This thread basically sold me on a getting a TDI and I couldn't be happier at this point. Nice, youre going to love having a diesel when you only have to get fuel every couple weeks. Unless you have a longass commute or something.

Yea, that automatic will die. Not just wear out but actual hard parts break in them. The price is kinda high considering its going to need either another transmission or a 5 speed swap.

NitroSpazzz posted:I was going to ask about this. Is it worth while to do an 'Italian Tuneup' type drive once and a while to clean out diesels or is that BS? Mines a 2000 TDI and it runs great but it really never sees high RPM or heavy throttle...am I making things worse by driving it nice all the time? The Italian tune up will help the vanes in your turbo not stick. You should do it like once a week or so.

Maybe check the case pressure relief valve on the pump. Its free and can't hurt.
