The car sounds great. Its a little different sound than my sisters car, but its mostly due to the single spring injectors in my car as opposed to my sisters dual spring. So my car is a little louder. It starts without issues, even in the winter without all the glow plugs working it would start on the third try.
I will take out the injectors and see if i can can get them tested just to make sure.
I had this issue on two different injection pumps....so maybe it is the injectors. I never ran the car b4 I had them rebuilt, so it is a possibility.
I will report back as soon as I know!

That's why I mentioned the injectors, I had read where you had swapped the IP already and still had the same problem, having the same problem with 2 different IP's would be rare.
I'm voting for an injector problem.
Well they will be coming out this weekend...and maybe early next week I can get them tested.
My 84 rabbit would run just fine. But under load and high RPM it would run very poorly. I recomend checking or replacing the fuel filter, and make sure no air is getting to the inlet of the pump.
Don't trust new or rebuilt parts just cause they should be like new doesn't mean they will work properly.
I have a friend who had injectors rebuilt and one of them was messed up causing the car to run very poorly.
So i agree on checking the injectors over.
Turns out the screw I was using to block the wastegate wasnt holding as much pressure as I thought it would. Changed that up a bit and now she holds 30psi, haul5 a55, and doesnt smoke!!!!!
Thanks for all the replies!!! Cheers, Michal
One quick question: How much can the stock head bolts take??? Will they be ok with me running 30psi???
They will probably last longer than your turbo will.
Does that mean you think the turbo won't handle that boost level for long?
Sorry, I thought that's what Zukegod1 had that blew, but looking back, it was a K-24. So ignore my previous comment. :oops:
