big_red_onion Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 from the other posts, people rekomend springs and then the engine such as exhaust, intake/panel, turbo etc. then a remap. Will a larger exhaust sound funny/like a van on a diesel??Cheers BIG RED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Pretty much.A diesal will always sound like a diesal, although the exhaust NFBL had on his diesal made the car sound better than standard.Still sounded like it runs on nails, but had a nice meatyness to it.<--- Not a oil burning fan style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G40chris Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 haha.in standard form it handles better than my G, much better brakes.im trying to find out about tuning the tdi engine myself, never tuned a diesel before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 You can't tune them yourself unless you know how to remap the thing... Unlike traditional diesels (mechanical TD engines) theirs no "manual" adjustment on the fuel pump, nor is their any manual adjustment on the Turbo, You can't even fit a bleed valve to it.The only way to tune them as such, is by replacing parts such as the Exhaust, Filter, Turbo, Intercooler. Or by having a pre-determined generic remap, or a full custom remap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G40chris Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 by myself i didnt mean actually mapping it myself, i meant best ways to go with the mapping, sorry to confuse people. i can see where your coming from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Sorry mate i didnt quite know how to read it lol style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Custom Code have some good "figures" with the remaps, but my only worry with them is that i dont know anyone who'se used them yet, thus i havent seen a before and after Graph done on the same rolling road.
