How do you set the pot up for best performance? Is it trial and error, or is there a procedure? Is it worth mounting the pot on the Dash, so you can wind it up or down, as and when needed, or is it best in a box under the bonnet, so once setup you just leave it alone? You say across pin 2 and 3, is this connector down on the fuel pump, or one of the ones up on the top of the engine? Thanks. |

Tdoug mounted his box on the dashboard. He then plays with his knob as he pleases, that sounds wrong some how. He adjusts it on the fly, got to say it seemed to chuck out a lot of black smoke at times though.
For what it’s worth I didn’t get the impression anyone had been particularly negative or derogatory. Still water under bridge, moved on now. |

As for the CE marks and legalities, while again it is a valid concern, this mod is not worse than most other modifications made to these cars. I very much doubt there is a CE mark on, Ray's MAF amp, none of the home made snorkels, roof racks, roof tents, roll out blinds, storage drawers, body lifts, uprated suspension components, winch bumpers, and even most winches. I think as a Forum Mod, you would be better just adding a Caveat, "Please do not make this modification if you do not know what you are doing, or are not willing to potentially deal with the damage that could be caused to your cars electronic components by making this unsanctioned modification. Please also be aware that modifications such as this could invalidate your warrantee, and insurance. If in doubt, please contact a qualified auto electrician, and your insurance company before trying this modification!" Otherwise, have fun, and if you are brave enough, let us know how you get on.. Ohhh and to paraphrase Zippy, don't forget the pictures!!! |

The more I turn it the more smoke it makes, if I leave it at a reasonable setting, which I did but have it a little higher now, I don't notice any smoke. I have it set a tad higher now and notice some smoke on initial acceleration, but it does go faster so it must be burning extra fuel and not just throwing it out the back. The best way to get tailgaters is to slow down and if possible change up a gear to make the engine labour a bit at low revs, then turn the knob and boot it ![]() |

Sorry have not been following this completely but agree with Clive's point about the 470 ohm resistor, haste to say does not apply to my manual pumped Patrol and the Mrs would not let me play with her T2, Rick

If any one wants installation instructions then please leave your email and I will forward them to you
I personally ran one for 25k turned up as much as my clutch would take and had no issue... it's a big mod in the vw scene just we use a different pin out on the ecu Before these where offered to sale it was run past the electricians and instrument techs at my work!! One box was run on a dyno in Australia at a diesel tuning shop!! These are where my figures are from! The shop where very impressed as they mainly deal with big Cummins ect At the end of the day it's down to the individual, when I first posted here I was told it couldn't be done... well it can and if you want some more power then knock yourself out.. |

I recommend cab mounted It is to some extent trial and error to suit each truck and driver... I recommend dialing it down until idle turns lumpy or picks up then knock it back a touch, 9 times out of 10 this will want slight adjustmen after a few miles On my personal trucks I tend to run one set at a happy medium for every day then install a second one on a switch for full power/smoke Cheers |
