I'm considering going electronic on my Passat just for something to do this winter. I still plan on keeping my mechanical pump so when the Chinese start blasting us with EMP. thats what i don't like, they're all stuck in a box doing all the same mods, making all these posts like they're engineers and half of what they say is irrelevant or exaggerated or wrong.This.This.This. I do read a lot over there, since we do have a TDI now, but some of the regurgitated false information just frustrates me. Its a whole clan of sheeple over there for the most part. Diesel is the best ever. And those old IDI diesels are scarrrrrry. A lot of times I look for people posting about IDIs just so I can direct them here. There are a few people over there who know a bit about IDIs but not many. I will say that I do appreciate the electronics in the TDI. It is nice to hook up VAG-COM and get information on problems. But there are some problems that don't throw a code, and when that happens, it can really suck to track down. We've had a cold starting problem off and on in my husband's TDI that we can't track down. Its been fine lately, but we'll see once it gets colder this fall if it comes back. We have our '84 TD and an '01 TDI. They both have their pros and cons. But the mk1 is definitely much more fun. We'll be getting rid of the mk4 long before that mk1 goes anywhere

thats his true opinion sadly... look at it like this... his m pumps are combo of other pumps.... 8v played that game... finally slapped a rover pump on and it came to life..... so i honestly think he needs to play with a few real tdi-m pumps... then see his opinion change...

Whats the welder for?
I would guess the arm that moves the governor assembly
i think his point was more like, 2 comparable pumps etdi and mtdi, with same cam plate and plunger and timing advance range would make about the same power.
I have a source that it would not be expensive
