Sounds like you turned up the fueling. Yeah, with those Eco-diesel pumps you lose a lot of potential. I've tried propane fumigation with the VW 1.6 TD, it's a lot of hassle and all but you can get a LOT more out of the little 1.6TD. I suspect that when you start pushing it that far you sacrifice longevity. Watch the Pyrometer!! Gary http://www.telusplanet.net/public/gary2a/rack/vanagonrack.htm |
