Hi guys and girls,
I just got back my pump from Gilles and it appears I need to up my boost as I am getting a lot of smoke under medium + throttle. I believe I have a Garrett turbo and I think I just turn the nut on the rod near the fire wall but this is all new to me and my mech. I looked under the stickies but the link seems to be dead. Can someone please post a step by step?
Very much appreciated. I can't wait to get it right.
Thanks in advance.
Greg
give this a shot, what year is your 1.9?? some came with K03's and some wit garett T2's ( I think? ) :oops:
http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=579 this should cover what you need to know except that your Gilles pump is way better than anyone coud achieve by simply turning up fuel
Thanks so much!
That's what I needed.
Went for a good country back-roads drive tonight after the rain. I'm happy. I'll coment of fuel in a couple days. I 'll play w/the psi this week as long as I have daylight but I don't have a gauge yet. I'll go with single full tuns on the adjuster nut and then test drive. Any thoughts on the later?
out.

boost guage would be nice but EGT is a must, unless you don't mind possible "melt" down ... :wink:
I didn't notice a write up on a good place to install the egt gauge. Any suggestions. As well where is a good place to buy one between ott and mtl?
Anything else I'll need?
Thanks for the help.

I am available, if any Giles pump guys wants to go up against a home modded pump. :wink:
