Not sure how I missed this post
Thanks for the info Sean, I'll dig into it

I've done some intensive reading on diesel tuning
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

Forgot to do this update

Did 15.3 on my tune, comparing with the 15.1 on a tuner's tune
That's pretty good results so far
Will keep improving my tune see if I can break 15.1

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...

Yeah I was ahead for the first half in some of the runs
But it run out of puff earlier than others plus I need 4 gear changes so I always ended behind at the finish line

Let me know if you need any tools, I might just have

**Blue9N3** · 11-03-2017, 11:02 PM

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 above
I only have a VNT17:/

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

**Blue9N3** · 12-03-2017, 01:33 AM

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 them

Finally have the time to install the TIP on the car

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

Happy driver again (for now)
