Hi guys and girls,
I just got back my pump from Gilles and it appears I need to up my boost as I am getting a lot of smoke under medium + throttle. I believe I have a Garrett turbo and I think I just turn the nut on the rod near the fire wall but this is all new to me and my mech. I looked under the stickies but the link seems to be dead. Can someone please post a step by step?
Very much appreciated. I can't wait to get it right.
Thanks in advance.
Greg

http://www.vwdiesel.net/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=579 this should cover what you need to know except that your Gilles pump is way better than anyone coud achieve by simply turning up fuel :)

Thanks so much!
That's what I needed.
Went for a good country back-roads drive tonight after the rain. I'm happy. I'll coment of fuel in a couple days. I 'll play w/the psi this week as long as I have daylight but I don't have a gauge yet. I'll go with single full tuns on the adjuster nut and then test drive. Any thoughts on the later?
out.

boost guage would be nice but EGT is a must, unless you don't mind possible "melt" down ... :wink:

I didn't notice a write up on a good place to install the egt gauge. Any suggestions. As well where is a good place to buy one between ott and mtl?
Anything else I'll need?
Thanks for the help.
