You are not crazy. M-TDI is like installing a carburettor in late 90´s fuel injected gasoline engine
Makes good power and has no problems... It is a bit smokey, loud and drivability suffers.
Why add a computer to duplicate what your right foot already does?
I agree totally, wasnt sure on your angle when you said it!! Im a bit simple and i like carbs and mtdi . Shame about the 1.6, I know people say 1.6tdi is pointless, why not just stick with 1.9. But if it were practical I bet you could squeeze great MPG out of them, as well as having good power and a good rev range. WOuld like to see a project like that pushed into action. Did you mean tdi? Or was you planning ecu pump with IDI set up? Interesting concept.
I´m one of those who think building 1,6TDI is pointless
