Did some tests on the PoD and the results are quite exciting
That's only fiddled with values within very safe regions
Guess I'll find out soon on Wednesday night
Anyone coming to the Perth Motorplex that night?
It's a boost theme night so entry for boosted vehicles is cheap, plus a lot of to fun watch :banana:
Forgot to do this updateQuote:

Will keep improving my tune see if I can break 15.1 :D
Man you must have given a few people a fright on the TDi!
Ordered a silicone intake pipe a few days ago. Really curious to see if it will actually make a difference...

Let me know if you need any tools, I might just have
Was watching some YouTube videos of big turbo 1.9tdi's, holy crap they go well!
Are any special tools needed to do the tip?

To go that fast you'll need a GTB20 or aboveQuote:

Don't think you need special tools to do the TIP, just ratchet and spanners
Maybe a long reach magnet if you have a hobby of dropping things in the engine bay like me;)
Got all of those including the magnet. Someone mentioned ball headed Allen keys?

Not sure about allen keys, but I have a set of ball headed ones if you need themQuote:

Couldn't get the hose the gose to the MAF to fit at the correct angle because there is an fitting issue with the alloy pipe
To fit the alloy pipe as designed the ASV can't be reinstalled(need to be removed to fit the TIP), so I had to turn it a little bit on the bracket and used the the old plastic pipe to connect the MAf and the alloy pipe
This is how it ended up

Might need to go back to the catch can routing again because the angle of the inlet is changed
Already see some oil seeping around the filler cap
Solved the the boost gauge needle rattling issue with some self tapping screws and vacuum hose joiners

That is 2 extra joiners and 5 screws in place as dampeners, and I already have an inline restrictor near the gauge!!
That turbo pulse is crazy
Also serviced the car while I was at it
Gave it an engine detox and intake decarb as well
I think the really freed up some moving internal parts because now the car is very responsive in low revs:D
Happy driver again (for now)
Did this about a month ago, but an H&R Cup Kit!

Installed my intercooler today, bought the pipework from someone who had a seat style cooler and got the cooler for $50 on gumtree
