I finally got around to installing a 1.6TD pump and injectors on my 1.9TD
that powers my VW camper, and was astounded with the results so far! There
is hardly any smoke compared to the former setup, boost comes in lower and
WAY stronger (now pulls 18~19 psi easily at 3000 rpm!), torque feels much
stronger in the sub-3000 rpm range, and I suspect the fuel mileage will get
better too. I had the injector nozzles replaced and the breaking pressures
set to 165 bar, timed the pump at 1.05 mm, and messed with the adjustments
on the pump per Gary's instructions from a few months ago. I'm very
impressed! So, to those of you running a 1.9TD with the stock ECO pump, if
you want more power this seems to be the way to find more. Makes me wonder
now how much more power could be found via the VNT20 turbo I have on my
desk. Hmmm.
