alright guys i just bought a 83 rabbit pickup with a 1.6 diesel in it, this is my first vw diesel, i picked it up for $600 with 91k on the clock, im definatly not new to diesels though, i have a dodge with a 12v cummins, and a 88 mack rd690 currently and i owned a ford 7.3 powerstroke before that, both modded, as for this vw how do i go about turning it up, i beleive the pump is similar as the older 12v cummins bosch VE pumps but i could be wrong, my truck has the bosch P7100 so i am not terribly familar with the VE but i know my way around it, i have heard about the fuel pins, governer springs, max fuel screws in these vw's, can someone give me some how to's on these, also i need a how to on the shift linkage bushings, there bad which i guess is a very typical vw thing, i want to make as much power as i can out of this 1.6 without doing a turbo just yet, what are my options for injectors? also is there anyone that does custom airboxes for these, i have a k&n filter coming for it, but the plastic box has a crack in it, and it seems like there has to be a better way to get air to that box, i will be putting a pyro on it and an exhaust, so any help here is much appreciated and it seems like you guys have got a great site here, look forward to being a member

i couldnt really find much about the pump and the injectors, and i heard the bushings are pretty self explanitory once your under there, and i also heard its a quick job

what i want to know about the pump is the governer mods to get some more rpms out of it and how to turn it up

and the injectors can anyone elaborate on the mercedes, case and the gm 6.2 injectors

case injectors are the same as whats in the older cummins 12V, actually you can get them much cheaper and with larger nozzles at a farm equipment dealer. thats what me and my frien
