ok, i dunno how much better it is now, but i just started using it as more of a timer for 0-60 haha, looks to be around in 8-9 second range, it's hard to say since i have to drive at the same time, i'm sure you all understand, is that good? this is an 81 2 door jetta with no options and i turned the fuel screw in about half a turn to the right, and i have the boost pin turned to the deepest side and the star wheel down about 1.5-2 turns, it boost up to around 23 pounds. with a kkk turbo... lemme know thanks!

What was zero-60 times before you made the adjustments? Did you do each adjustment/mod separately than make a run? Just curious which mods give the most bang.

nah i have my car where i set it to performance and stock, i just have it "performance mode" none this is really mods, the only reason my boost is so high is because my wastegate is stuck shut. really all i did was adjust the fuel screw a tad and the boost pin tad, it takes a total of 5 minutes to do it all.

adjust the boost pin? you mean unscrew the top of the LDA, and turn it a TAD?

i have the boost pinned turned to the steepest side, the one which will allow the pin that rides on the boost pin to travel in the furthest

so with the BOV still active and boost controller set to 12 psi, will it help with anything right now?

i think the trapspeed is way off, but the et i think may be accurate as i got my 0-60 of 8-9 seconds, 10 at the most, and looking at other cars 0-60 and quarter mile times this seems to be in check

zagarus · « **Reply #8 on:** August 28, 2006, 03:43:35 pm »

so what way do i turn the boost pin?

RabbitJockey · « **Reply #9 on:** August 28, 2006, 07:11:05 pm »

well theres a little indent on the front right side of the lda, and then there is a dot (like a dimple kinda) on the top of the plate that holds the diaphram to the pin, when the indent and the dot are lined up that's the side that gives the least fueling, so you turn the dirt so it faces the opposite way for max fuel, and anywhere inbetween to get it just right, when you have all the way to max, you'll feel that's just right :twisted: haha

oh yeah, and once you're done experimenting, you can make marks as to where you want it, i marked the max fuel part with a marker, and i put a mark on my star wheel so i know how many times i turned it. but this was all told to me by the hillfolk himself, i don't wanna take claim to something he shed on me.

to bad i can't even get the four corner flathead screws out, they damn tight! :evil:

tap on them with a smaller metal hammer a little bit, remember lightly, since you are hitting one of the most important parts of the motor. the steel screws going into the alumium usually corrodes and gets all stuck like that, kinda like a vw water pump setup, haha try and get one of those apart with out snapping the head off a bolt, for mine. if the hammer does work, do what i did before i discovered the hammer trick, and put the flat head in side ways so you can turn it like a wrench and apply alot more torque to the screw, but becare with that cause it can deform the screws

would applying a bit of heat help? couldn't hurt
