Title: pump mods while rebuilding?
Post by: jwspin on March 04, 2010, 12:03:23 pm

I have been out of the vw diesel scene for a couple years now and happy to say im back. i picked up an auto gasser rabbit last spring, and with a lot of handouts from friends i now have a TD 5 speed bunny. my injection pump is starting to leak so i picked up a rebuild kit and im gonna rebuild the pump this weekend. other than the Gov mod does anyone have any other pump mods that i should do when i have it apart?

thanks

Timing Advance Mod.

haven't researched it or done it myself. but I hear it has good gains.

Also, weigh the benefits of making one change at a time...
