ForceFed's Project TDI

[ForceFed]

I purchased mine from another forum member. In fact there is one for sale right now for a mk6 in the for sale section. They could possibly be the same for both mk5 and mk6.

Things just got a little bit tougher...Now with eyelids.

Nice to see you got the sprintbooster and are happy with it, my wifes Passat is in desparate need of one. The lag between press and acceleration is killing me.

[ForceFed]

Yeah, I don't think I could live without it now. It makes an incredible amount of difference. I sometimes disable the SprintBooster to see how it was without it....Crapola!

Small update.

Decided to change my intake from the BMC CDA and go for a more stealthy look with aFe Stage 2 Pro Dry System. This intake changes the top half of the factory intake and retains the bottom half.

More Info aFe Stage 2 Pro Dry S Cold Air Intake System

The CAI apparently outflows factory intake by 56% and can give up to 10hp increase over stock....Yeah right. Looks nice though.

[mk5_tdi]

Intake looks great, is it much louder over the standard airbox?

[ForceFed]

Not much louder at all. Slightly more whoosh. Just nice.

Guess who's coming to play this week? Hint....

I had Miro (Transporter) come around my place today to tackle cleaning out the EGR. He really is such a nice and helpful guy. Champion.

This is what a 2.0TDI EGR looks like after 100k with no Provent. Yuck!



And after...Much better

Good work. I think the 2.0 doesnt get as clogged up In comparison to previous models (based on the pics ive seen). How difficult was it to get off? Got any tips?

I think the recirculated soot and crap is more of an issue than the oil vapor. Could be wrong though.

Do you have a provent ready to go on?

[ForceFed]

I got Transporter to take it off and clean it. Didn't take too long. My intake is pretty clogged and is next on the list to get cleaned. No Provent just yet. I am definitely considering it now after looking at that.



Am getting the above tune which will turn my EGR down to virtually zero. While it won't completely eliminate the sludge build up, it will slow down the process.
