PM adrian / fcp open for coments
Cool, I thought other forum members might have some ideas for Adrian and his quest for more ponies in the 617A
My own view - extra fuel early on needed to spin turbo up
No need to send pump overseas
PM Axel , He has contact detail of a top UK Bosch man who is interested enough to max out the pump without larger elements...Not silly ££....
Timing is critical when refitting...splines are very fine ...hard to keep chain tight as well...can take several attempts to get it spot on
Should be easy 140 with intercooler
Check waste gate if fitted and consider actuator upgrade
Fit VDO boost guage
I agree with Tony - adjustment for altitude on pump are very easy (screwdriver I think) and getting more fuel in earlier should be simple for Mike's Bosch Shop.. Only really need Myna or Dieselmerken if you need custom work like elements (and then you definitely need bigger turbo!)
I have little experience of timing setup or what options are for actuator upgrade though - internal wastegate on this almost certainly I guess?
What did you decide to do?
Do you have a tacho fitted? what is in the middle hole in between fuel etc and speedo?
Something I've been working on is using the backside of the instrument pod housing (available as a prt for about $20) mounted upside down underneath the dash above the transmission tunnel etc. Its a good fit and with an appropriate face and a little fabrication you can get 4 or even 5 52mm dials in.#
I'll post pics once I am done.
