some more boost would lower your egts and increase your fun. and i remember you asking about my gti tach in my diesel, check out the faq theres a really good write up in there, i know from seeing some of your other projects that u can easily handle the conversion.

Wait, you said that you hadn't started it all morning but a quick glance at the temp gauge says other wise. Whats the wraping/taping noise?
Good video about the EGTs though.

Looking at it again, your coolant temps rise very quick.Was it already warm or what?

Something is definitely wrong with the coolant temp gauge or sender.. or it was started warm.
You're at operating temps before your out of the driveway... Hows that happen?
Thanks for the vid.
Bear in mind that with your n/a pump, the highest actual EGTs occur when you floor it off-boost. As boost rises actual EGTs drop until you reach the opening pressure of the wastegate. If the EGT shown on the gauge is still rising at the moment you off the pedal, then the actual EGTs are considerably higher than the gauge is showing at that moment.
Why is that Andrew?

NA pumps that have been modded or not modded give less fuel when you get boost. It leans out due to no on-boost fueling.

temp gauge is all over the place, it didn't sound cold to me but the gauge is faulty or there's a serious prob with the mill.
Isn't much faster than an NA is it?

ah...you guys are silly. This car has no temp guage, nor does it have an oil pressure gauge.
Those wires are just flopping all around in the engine bay:) I just swapped in a new car harness a few weeks ago and my previous harness...those wires had all been cut. I left them in the bay in hopes of installing some senders.
Anyway...the motor is bone cold when I started it. I have no reason nor inclination to e-lie.
It's not fast at all but it's faster than an NA. No diesel VW is fast. That's what my 20vT and 16vT rabbits are for:)

Lot of TDI's would argue with that no fast vw diesel bit.

Holy Crap 10.3s...

An n/a pump can push as much fuel as a td pump, being that the actual fuel pumping part is identical inside. I've not heard of n/a pumps leaning out when used in turbo applications.
ALSO, how can you say its not much faster than an n/a? Have you driven the two in comparable cars? I have two bone stock 1984 Jetta's, one n/a and one td.. the td is clearly faster than my n/a and its stock, the N/a even has the gov mod.. and the td still pulls away, except for when i have the n/a up around 4500 on the highway! lmao
