1984 Jetta , TDI WE MUST! (1.9 AHU M-TDI)

what he said... imo the other side still got pressure of some manner... else the thermostat would allow a air pocket of oil move when it did open.. id goto a highpressure store like napa does now.. else place deals with hydrolic lines for big earth equipment... they can crimp and give line made for high pressure...

that stuff looks like rad hose... those screw clamps have ate into the rubber... its going to be like blown turbo oil lines...

[libbydiesel]

It looks like multi-purpose hose.  Rated to 300 psi.  Should be fine for an oil cooler. 

[ORCoaster]

Yep.  Working Pressure rated to 300 PSI  AND  Made in the good ole US of A.

If my engine produces 300+ psi on a cold start, I think I have bigger issues haah. I bout the kit used, so the hoses had ratty ends  but luckily I could chop off all the torn parts from the ends and still have enough hose to reach for me in a clean fashion.

Crimped hydro lines Chris!? What am I just throwing cash away now? haha. Noway sir, I will always be budget minded lol!

NEXT UP!!! EGT, BOOST, and AWIC!!

Blue for boost;



Red for EGT;



AND THE AWIC TO RULE THEM ALL;

[bbob203]

How much did you pay for awic setup?

[camboscams]

Dude, Auber gauges are the sh**. I have one for egt and if you let it idle for awhile and let the temp stabilize then turn the headlights on and you can see the temp go up a few degrees from alternator load! Very awesome! I would love to have one for boost as well

They are pricey.. But I am thinking of doing a full set of them for everything!

[vanbcguy]

I have a pair of Auber gauges but I still haven't found a round tooit. 

[8v-of-fury]

Well check this out homeboy's.

Because I am not running an Inter cooler and like ~15psi from the k03 I keep blowing the runner coupler between the intake and the pipe from the turbo. It is not silicone, it really should be. So I took the MBC out and it is back to opening the waste gate at the stock 9-10psi?? Ughhhhhhh, no balllls! Haha, That extra 5 or so psi.. made a world difference. When I get that IC on there it will be INTENSE! I have enough fuel for 1 k03 per exhaust runner .. How awesome would that be!?

I use these on my personal cars now ever since my sister in law blew up a turbo engine in 85 jetta   She didn't pay attention to low coolant light or temp gage and drove until it locked up.

I got an aircraft alarm off ebay that I also use as an alarm trigger

They sell cases to contain the units so only the wires will run through it through a grommet which I haven't finally installed yet.  Also suggest mounting them somewhere out of direct light, or you won't see them in the daytime.  When doing my final dash install I am going to make some kind of overhang on the top to try and keep the screens in the shade.

I also use their senders.  I never had a problem with their stuff until a couple weeks ago when my egt gage just turned off.  Yanked it and checked it and its dead, no display.  Contacted them to find out the warranty is only like 90 days and they will see if repair cost is less than a new unit   I am hoping that is a fluke.  I checked my wiring and all connections still tight and intact with the shrink still on each wire.

[8v-of-fury]

I just recently had the need to have more than water temp, voltage and oil pressure.. lmao. Never had the need on any engine before.. as they were nearly stock or I just didn't care, plus I am brokestatus as I have way too many projects on the go all the time.

I did not see their cases! DAMNIT! That is a buzzkill, I would definitely like to run them pretty much directly above the stereo on the top of the dash for direct viewing as they will be the big important gauges. Aww hell, I think I am about 30 seconds from pushing the clicker to order the AWIC...... oh no interwebs and alcohol do not mix! haha.

Because I keep blowing the rubber coupler I have between my turbo cold side outlet and the intake manifold andI have removed my manual boost controller.. I am really noticing the stock boost pressure. Turbo spools up, and then you just don't hear it anymore (because the waste gate is nearly the same size as the turbine wheel haha) its no good. I think I will see if the 98's SMIC will fit in there for the time being and just rock it under the battery until the AWIC gets here..

[libbydiesel]

Do you have boost connections that aren't beaded?  I didn't think the K03 had the ability to blow of connections that were beaded.

[8v-of-fury]

No I mean the rubber is being blown apart. LOL. Not slipping off the connections. Yes they are beaded. Kinda a pain when it happens because it is usually only when I am on the highway hauling ass.. ie. Big boost, lotta intake heat.

[bbob203]

wrap it thin sheet metal?

[libbydiesel]

What are you using for the connector?  When you install the AWIC actual silicone couplers made for intercooler installs.
