Some people have one hell of a rage-boner going for the VE E-TDI.. and I can't fathom why.
Pulling the plunger is nice and easy, if you could find a mechanical one from some old marine VE pumped diesel thatèd be shweeeeet.
I have mechanical gauges in my m-tdi even.. pull that plunger and it is a fully mechanical machine. Ready for the apocalypse and EMP's.

exactly jeremy! Precisely why I would rather have midi over anything. Coupled with the fact that if necessary all I have to do it pull up to a bulldozer with a siphon and a funnel and get me some hydraulic fluid to run if and when the us becomes like mad maxx

Same here, I'm not smart enough for all that electricky computery stuff. But we digress...
How can it be 4000rpm and only 60mph? It should be doing 85-90mph at 4000rpm in 5th gear. Either the tach is wrong or the clutch is slipping.

While we're on a mad max note and not a mtdi note i never realized how homo-erotic that movie was as a kid. I just thought it was cool. but watching it as an adult i realize the guys in leather ass-chaps chained to each other. And with gas being a limited resource why would you have massive v8 vehicle getting like 8 mpg? It came out after the oil crisis so that had to be in someone's mind. I know there were a few VW rails in the movie too but still. And how long did the gas last? I assume it was leaded gas though. I don't know if there really was a point to that but still.
no tach in the caddy just ear. clutch isn't slipping in it. it has good grip.

I'd also like to add that a AHU with the fist sized k03 at 4000RPM sounds like she is going to POP. I had to have my non modified pump maxxed to the nines to even be near good enough. It was an endeavour I went after as it was still faster and more economical than the N/A it replaced.. lol

I think I put that in the original post. The Turbo is a Mk2 Turbo diesel with like a Volvo compressor wheel and snail shell. I uploaded a video to YouTube earlier. I'll post it in a bit.

i messed with the timing a bit yesterday. i'm beginning to believe it is just in the pump itself so im debating on just getting a built one and being done with that side of the project. not going for super huge hp numbers here so should i go with a 4bt based pump or a turbo diesel/tdi hybrid pump? i'm sure opinions vary on which is best. just using the caddy to get parts and tow the occasional mk1 or mk2 i buy.
