Let the tinkering get serious!!....

[Greg Roles]

Mate in a perfect world I'd put down my sidchrome tools, take my car off my personal hoist, and back it onto my dyno, to test each mod along the way. All I have is the bumometer, a little theory, and a desire to drill holes in stuff.

I do agree the way it is is overkill, and would liberate no extra power at all on a stock ECU etc. It's just noise at this stage, and a bit too much to be honest. Doing it all over again I'd stick with the stock box and get the aFe lid, but where's the fun in a few typical bolt on mods??

I've no doubt at keast half the things were a waste of time really, but I had fun doing it, and I've no doubt I've built a low restriction inlet!

The good news is I ordered my experimental DPF core today, and once it arrives will fab up my high flow DPF dump, tack it up myself then drop it to the local engineer for proper welding, get it ceramic coated, and then let Gav has his way with her.

Heck, I might even buy some real Methanol next week, that will be a definate for a before and after dyno, before the Gav factor.

And with Gav starting work in Brissie in a few weeks, we should see the TDI finally tuned up in the next few months!!!

Greg, good to see that part exhaust being put to good use!

Miss it?

Man I totally agree - I just mean that if/when you do get it on a dyno, it'd be great to see a back to back comparison (tuned or not, i'd still be interested to see what difference there was).

Not gonna happen mate, I have filled the room where the stock box was, far too much trouble for what we all know, an element does nothing and a decent cold air very little by itself, especially on the well flowing MkV from stock.

Nice work mate.

Quotable.

Nice work

I need to do the cooler on my car, still haven't been able to work out the best option for it. On the plus side I just got back from UK, Paris and Hong Kong to find my package of goods arrived back the day before I did

So I need to fit it all up and have a chat to Gav

Be able to do that without a phone next week

Hahaha, no rush on it, I still need to fit all the parts up to do it and I won't have the money to do that for a little bit. but I want to have it ready before the start of the National Time Attack series as the cage is hopefully going in before then which has all been paid for its just a matter of getting it in.

My cunning plan to get a high flow DPF is close to coming together!
My kingdom for a Tig welder and bottle!!




Also probably a good time to fit these babies.....
