Tdiclubers hate mtdi!!

I'm truly baffled by all the nastiness coming from the E-crowd on this topic.  Ignorance is a dish best served alone. 

It reminds me of the sentiment on the Samba that diesel destroys transmissions.

Exactly.

I love VNT turbos, I really enjoy computers, programming and electronics and my farts smell awesome.  "Everyone Likes their own brand."

haha i do as well, i actually went to a vocational high school for electronics and work with electronics every single day.

my farts smell like a fresh loaf straight from the oven, whats not to enjoy?

also i have driven diesel vws for almost 10 years now and i have never had any problems with a transmission.

I'm an e-Tdi swapper because I like reliable performance and trouble shooting. I've poked around here for a while and I know there are numerous mtdi pump build threads. I've seen a good number of mtdi low performance threads on the Tdi club. If it was so straight forward and easy to build an mtdi pump wouldn't there be a simple source for the mtdi pump? Pay $700-$1000 and be done. If people built a list of all the ingredients: x injectors, such and such turbo with this guys mtdi pump and you will have 1?? whp and 2??wtq I bet you would make a lot believers. I would be one  

The people that report good results are the ultra hardcore gdi peeps.

why my rover pump experiance kills all that... cheap, damb near bolt on.. the gov mod is simple.. not like opening rest up.. and on stock tdi.. a e way slower.... add 50 hp... right now...

They have their cool license plate frames though... We should get our own.

But I love my cruise control.   Really I just a couple of Rover pumps to put in Caddies, we'll see!

Make a quick and simple list of the parts to make x amount of power. Post it up with some of your experience, iirc your thread is uber long. newbies need the reader digest version:) I'll be happy to add it to the tdiswap list and make it stand out.


I like my cc and license plate frame, it works on my car. If you came up with one that worked with my plate i'd rock it.

There are no changes necessary to the internals of the Land Rover pump to make considerably better power than a stock eTDI.  Any nozzle change suggestions for eTDIs for a given amount of boost apply directly to mTDIs.

it is just like fitting a mk4 pump on a mk3... pics on tdi club... pully/mount mods..

gov mod in 8v sig..

fab some type of throttle cable mount/linkage

fab the rear under line mount... or swap it..

swap delevery valves

mine is timmed at 118.. im real happy with it and still not touched it.. i hear 130-150 good.. but never tried.. if happy why mess with it imo.. same on fuel screw and boost pin... still on stock settings even w/gov mod... makes very little soot.. and egts only exceeded 1250 1 time... and blew the turbo in this moment... drove turbo aditional 5k before i figured out that i blew it!! toweed car home and all...

im real happy with my tdi m

and when i got mine.. 200ish ebay uk... what guy paid for it that i got it from.. i manned up to play guini pig.. and impressed with doing it..

mr herb... cruise is cake... upgrade section i have a thread on stock vw cruise... the only issue.. throttle springs too strong for the vac ball.. so need to experiment with them to reduce that aspect a tad.. i keep telling bbob thats why his no work... 1.6 throttle lever has softer springs then my rover pump or his libby pump.. and for how tight my rope/dead mans cruise worked i can see that as why.. (lack vw speedo head fo vw  cruise)

i think cross planting a mk3 gasser cruise to tdi e harness would get you cruise on a mk3 tdi-m... so no reason at all it cannot work.. else mk1/mk2 vanagon and such can use that part list..

Cruise control works on manual pumps, too.

CRS you gotta watch. I still haven't confirmed that tidbit about the cruise. I really don't think thats my problem.

While the governor mod will increase high rpm power, the stock Land Rover governor spring gives the full rpm range of the eTDI.

Could it be done on my pump?

[libbydiesel]

Not exactly, the Cummins governor spring setup is different (uncaged) and cannot be shimmed in that way.  I do have a slightly shorter and stronger uncaged governor spring that I would be willing to send to you to try if you want.  The shorter/stronger spring gives the same effect as shimming the caged governor spring.
