I would love to hear how it sounds warmed up. Why does it smoke so white on startup?

my car needs a tune up BAD. as I think the injectors are getting worn and tired, and maybe dirty

Vangruver, you look like you could use a little more static advance in your pump. Whats it set at? stock settings?

low compression or retarded timing.. maybe even a burnt out glow plug or 2..
92 Jetta GLI - Black, 1.6D w/ GT2056V turbo..
86 GTI - 4 Door, Med Twilight Gray, Tow Machine..
86 Audi Coupe GT - Tornado Red, All Stock.. WRECKED.
89 Toyota 4Runner - Dark Grey Metallic, LIFTED!

Turbo: exhaust gasses go into the turbocharger and spin it, witchcraft happens and you go faster.

and I think you're right. i've been meaning to spend more time to check out the status of the glow plugs. and or compression.

I really need to change out the transmission first and foremost though.

that has an inline muffler.


this is the picture of the exhaust before i installed it on the car. it was taken by the previous owner


it's a good sound on the inside, not overly loud not overly raspy either.  it's moderate, but I don't have much in the way of sound deadening. I'm considering it, but we will see.
