Hi, just got hold of a mk3 golf TD with what i presume is an AAZ, its a 96 btw. The pull leaves alot to be desired, seems like alot of difference from my last mk2 gtd. So i was wondering what turbos are u guys running? What are they off? and what other parts do ui need to fit aswell? Nothing too pricey though :lol:
Thanks Joel

The AAZ is flat as a fart bert,put a rover 220TD aneroid pin in ASAP this will help to be honest,im using a garrett T3 off a 1.6 TD mk2 golf,goes like stink to be honest,ive only swapped the pin,NO other mods at all.

no adjusting to fuel?

did you do the pin yourself?

does the pin just alow more fuel when in boost???

the pintakes like 30 seconds to change, its only 4 screws.

HIya Bert, i remember u said before about that pin, i will have to look out for 1 in a scrappy, but i don't have much time on my hands atm :roll:
Will i need the manifold aswell or will it fit onto the AAZ? Any other bits?

hmm, is there anyone over here in the uk that can rebuild the pumps like giles does? :?

Hi,i have not touched the fuel screw,the governor springs,nothing exept the aneroid pin,took 3 mins to swap,look at the top of the pump the 4 screws come out,the pin pulls out with the diaphram,leave the spring where it is,slide the rover 220Td pin in,4 screws and off you go,i took a diesel lover for a spin and it scared him :lol: he was amazed how a 1.9TD can go so quick :twisted: And it dont adjust the off boost fueling either (rover pin ground equal not offset so just put it in)

Joel,i used the 1.6TD manifold aswell,just bolts on,i used the 1.9 inlet manifold as no blow off valve required :roll: had to cut a little piece of alloy off the manifold for the turbo to fit as its bigger.
it is a great car now,just lowered the back as it was way high :?

from this

Just thought, there is that viking rover spares just down the road from me :lol:
Will have to pay them a visit :twisted:

yes viking,you need about an N reg rover 220 or 420 TD with the bosch pump,the later were fly by wire

Bert, do u need any mk1 bits as i am clearing out the garage at the mo. What brakes are u running? I have the gti stuff if u need it and also a nicwe intercooler that i am sure would fit infront of the rad u have. It was to small in the gtd

bert · « **Reply #13 on:** March 30, 2008, 01:41:16 pm »

what you want for the bits? what you got? ive got 2 mk1 golfs so spares always hoarded :wink: i need an intercooler really too,what car you got i cant remember?
we need to meet up when its taxed in may and i take you for a rasp :twisted:

THe parts were off the mk1 gti 1.8, now nearly a 16v g60 with 6 speed :twisted: I forget what the intercooler is off i bought it ages ago but i think it'll fit. What rad are u running? I seem to remember the intercooler fit infront of the 16v rad i was gonna use, so if its not wider than that

Also have a spare gtd gearbox and might be able to scrape together the inkage needed to convert a 4 speed to 5
