I'm not sure of this response... It could be he needs help [Andrew that is 
], or it just might be he's Mr Angry. Ah well he's over 18...

If memory serves me right, he got bent out of shape when Mark informed him that the idea was originally Marks, and chided Andrew about getting a royalty. Seems like it was a good natured conversation until Andrew became enraged and nuked the entire thread.
It's a pity to lose his expertise, but I'm not sorry to see his abrasiveness go. He behaved badly on vwdieselparts as well, and finally left after some others told him to lay off another member. I got in the middle of it and received an attempt to dress me down as well.
Finally, there's the matter of his nuking EVERY THREAD HE POSTED. Not the sort of behavior exhibited by well socialized folks. Sorry to have lost his information, but glad to have his lousy way of communication gone.
Of course, we can't talk about it specifically, because he's deleted every bit of it.

We just all need to remember each of us has an opinion and there are usually 12 zillion ways to accomplish the same task, though we may do it different the purpose of a forum is to get together and chat about it.We learn from one another. We all communicate differently. I for one hope he comes back. i like the additional knowledge he expressed. I am personally surprised he is still at tdi, of the two sites that one is def more hostile!

I couldn't agree more. Opinions are like a rear body part----everyone has one. I did notice him getting more and more violent though. I disagreed on a VNT thread he had posted and he simply attacked me. NOT cool.

Be careful folks. He's still lurking and will attack you on any other forum that you're on if you make a disparageing remark.

Attack, ha.
More likely to correct you.
How you handle being corrected isn't his problem.
Like the poster who got all bent up when he was told you can't run it rich, idle will just increase. Then acted like he was attacked.

What do you mean you can't run a diesel rich? Try leaving a shop rag in the turbo inlet. It will smoke like a big dog, even at idle. My shop helper at the time did that when pulling down a TD Vanagon and did not tell me. It would not been so bad but he put the intake pipe back on the turbo. Took me a couple of days to find it.
MMUK,
Is that 50 mpg Quantum a 5 banger? TD or NA?

Not to start anything but um, a rag in the intake will throw everything off. Try making a perfectly tuned diesel (without a rag in the intake) run rich without revving higher. That was Andrews whole point.

That's the hard bit...
Then there is real life driving... where the engine is slightly mistuned, or, as the engine injects what you tell it to, it then has to use turbo and feedback back to the pump to readjust everything so it is forever playing catchup.
Max fuel screw determines just how far ahead you can get before catchup, turbo resizeing alters this lag, but not before it runs rich.
Steady state operation, more fuel equals more revs, but if timing or dynamic advance is not ideal, then not all fuel gets burnt, or maybe I'm wrong.
The turbo can't provide the neccessary extra air at the lower rpms in driving conditions, otherwise you wouldn't ever see black smoke out the back would you?

Perfectly tuned = little smoke under acceleration = good mixture
Turn fuel screw 1/4 turn = smoke under acceleration = rich mixture

I hate when people do this.
If the internet doesn't forgive, it definitely doesn't forget either...
Everything you ever post on the internet is permanent so be careful what you say!... People do not realize this, but everything you ever post on the internet is out there somewhere, it may not be here, but it is out there somewhere, why be difficult about this.
Discussion forums really shouldn't let you delete things after a period of time... even classified ads should be left there, as it is useful reference information for someone who wants to buy or sell the same thing.
