Default diesel performance?

your wish is my command...

-1.9 conversion kit from here: http://www.overlandparts.com/dieselintro.htm
-Stock upgraded to T3 turbo(15 psi when I want the boost, usually at 7)...the k04 died [img]images/smiles/icon_sad.gif[/img], Audi FMIC(dunno the model)
-DIY CAI, see below
-UPsolute chip
-Supersprint exhaust
-205 injectors, various fuel fiddling
-Some no-name boost controller, I tried the apexi one but it didn't seem to like me [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

The DIY CAI is pretty good, if you can find the right tubes. I took 3 pieces of PVC pipe from Osh, and some joints, then just played around with it. It's a K&N filter thats behind the left bumper vent( I have a Mattig RS bumper, like {_} [_______] {_} ) goind thru the pieces of pipe. I doubt it really helped too much, I just did it cause the stock thing was getting really nasty.

And this is on an '86 Jetta Deluxe with 100% no options, so it feels pretty quick. Not fast per se, but definately fun.

BTW, those #s were with the turbo at 16psi, for just drivingaround it's probably at like 100-110 or so hp
