1.9 head is worth is, with my k14 and straight exhaust I have the stock 1.6td pump as high as it can go, smoke screw in all the way, idling at 1100, low as it goes, star wheel like 1/4inch AWAY from the spring so and boost gives full boost fueling. Not a speck of dark smoke, only a light haze, tons of power, egts super low, can't get it above 1100 running wot up a hill at 80mph for 3 min, mild gov mod, 2.25in straight dp, fantastic little bugger, at max fueling tune I get 40mpg on my mixed commute of 15 miles
Why are you doing the 1.9 IP? Why not just put the 1.9 camplate in the 1.6 IP and retain the adjustability of the 1.6 pump.

I do know that I drive torque, while listening to my friends prattle on about horsepower.

And I still need to intercool..
will give this another go at moving splines on the throttle lever, was hoping this wasn't all the stock pump had in her, thanks,didn't mean to mini hijack OP, my bad
This all sounds similar to my build! A1 Rabbit (have to say it that way these days with the new imposter that came out a couple of years ago...)I have a solid lifter motor though... not 'til after I built her did I know that Hydro was the way to go... trying to get a metal gasket for the motor, but I haven't found anything yet... ARP head studs(12mm)... I have Kobelschmidt .40 as well... running GTD injectors, stock head, TT 2.25 DP, 2.25 back no muffler, air to water IC. I (for now) am running the stock turbo that I have. Already tapped the exhaust mani for Egt sensor, and I am looking for a water/meth inj set-up to spray into the intake runners... I have several a1 intake manis that I am considering using, and welding on a flange for my IC tubing. Also I have a IC external sprayer as well that is computer controlled based on engine compartment temps, IC temps, and Load (which I am going to turn into an OT switched circuit that I am having Giles set-up for me...I am very interested in your build... looking forward to see your progress... I started mine on Vortex... http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4056111-My-83-Rabbit-TD-SVO-Build
I've been collecting parts for this rabbit for a couple years now, and have lost a lot of links, and missed a lot of good posts.Parts sofar:-Gapless Rings-Kolbenschmit TD pistons-Block overbored for above pistons -Big oil pump-Oil filter assembly with extra port-Crankcase windage tray-ARP hardware for head, mains and rods-Resized rods, arps installed-Upgraded mains bearings-T3 8v manifold exhaust.-T3, 52 mm (I think....) from M-B 300d-G60 Intake-DSM side stock side mount IC-A-S Exhaust temp gauge, probeRight now, next in the works is a 1.9 IP, adding Oil squirters (already purchased) and MLS head gasket. Possibly a 1.9 head.After that, Giles superpump and meth injection. After that - body work and suspension/wheels.It's gonna be an autocross/ road rally car, I feel as if I'm missing a few parts here....
