So today I received my DGK-121 Bosch reseal kit from The One They Call Giles, he also threw in some of those pesky little E-clips on the governor shaft! After doing those pumps up that I resealed, 2 of the 3 received fully shimmed governor mods.. thus me loosing all the ones I had in reserve! lol
Tomorrow morning I will be getting the one piece rear main crank seal, throwing that back together with the new 210mm clutch kit
New pushrod, throw out bearing, and all the tranny seals. YAY
. Tomorrow when my brother is off work I hope to pull the pump off my engine and leave my car at the shop over night.. Bring the pump home and build the M-tdi pump out of it, and then slap it on the motor and get it timed and running prior to swapping it in to the car, which hopefully will be saturday!!

So here is a question for the masses
Being that it will be an M-TDI, using all of the same pump internals Making this pump fully capable of whatever a TDI pump should be able to do yeah..
So injectors and turbo are in my future when I get the 02A tranny in there
! My question is what turbo would run well on the AHU with fuelling out its ass.

for a cheap easy to find turbo i vote for volvo 740 t3. 50 trim compressor and a .48 a/r exhaust housing. so slightly bigger and newer than the mercedes t3 i know a few people have run and liked them on their tdi-m (such as hillfolk) and joe rabbit gtd guy also ran one i believe

It is 2:20am, and I just completed the M-TDI pump. Holy Hell. She put up a fight this time, lol. However I was up before the ass-crack of dawn this morning.. so nearly 24 hours later, I guess I was just tired. Would you believe these were taken with my phone..
Got some Purtty pump im working with
. Very clean inside.
One will note the SUPERAWESOMEHEAVYDUTY springs that are found in the DI pumps (the ones in my hand
);
And my completely random assortment of three pumps worth of pieces!! Woowee! There is another full pizza box to the left of this shot, with even more pump parts on it.
And in case your up for a read
http://mebonty.monobasin.net/vepump.htmlGot the motor and my car sitting in the shop waiting for the am to roll around, which is in about 4-5 hours! LOL better get some shuteye!

Well my brother and I spent 5 hours at the shop today. Got id say 80% of the work completed at this time. All that is left is bolting the down pipe to the turbo, putting the pump on and timing it.

He's been brain-tanking this deal pretty hard and faithful for a while.
He won Rookie of the Year his first year in.
I bet he pulls it off - maybe not this weekend - but maybe so.
If this Inj Pump fires and runs this weekend - i'm way beyond Impressed.
If it fires runs drives and all is well - he deserves a medal of honor, badge of courage, event T-Shirt, front/rear TDi emblems, and a bumper sticker.

Mount it 180* upwards like a periscope on a sub
wanna hear this heap is running tonight !

I'm gonna be needing that medal of honor, badge of courage, event T-Shirt, front/rear TDi emblems, and a bumper stickers. :d
8 hours worth of work and its running and moving under its own power
.
The only thing is I had to time it by ear as the tdi distribution head does not accept my timing gauge.. meh. I did lengthen the dp and it is only the downpipe. Started up just fine fire not having run I'm however long. Love no glow plus!!

Hot diggity damm way to go Man
I'm way the heck beyond Impressed.
How does the initial drive feel ?
60 HP - 70 HP range ?
- or do you think you're getting closer to the full 90 HP ?
Pretty dammd cool you made your own M-TDi Inj Pump ... and it works on the first trial. We should all be very proud of you and what you've been able to accomplish on this adventure. You went for the Gusto and grabbed it by the horns.
SALUTE
ps - i forgot those newfangled turbos have the wacky exhaust exit - and won't allow the periscope mount on the DownPipe. Good thing you didn't need to improvise on that.
