Talking I now suffer from SBS (severe bombing syndrome)

Well I did my AFC and boost screw adjustment and WOW! This thing is a whole new beast! Its a heck of a lot more fun to drive. I pulled my pin out and it was covered with what looked like orange rotting diesel . I cleaned it off and first rotated it 90* clockwise. That was fun but not enough... I then put it 180* from the stock location (the deepest setting) from where I marked it and thats where I left it. I want more! more!

Any suggestions as to what I should do next?

If your brave enough, grind the afc lever in the pump.
Also 3200 spring helps with the 2-3 shift and top end in the Getrag.
16 cm housing
4" exhaust

After that it starts getting $$$$$$$$

Its good to know that I'm not alone on this one

But I think next I'm going to do the 16cm turbo housing (any suggestions on where to find one) and then play with full power screw After that I'm thinking 40 or 60hp injectors and a 4" exhaust system, or maybe stacks

Stupid question but what are PODs?

I can hear my wallet screaming murder already

Most of the diesel performance vendors on this site sell the 16 cm housings.

POD's are big stinky smoky injectors. My avatar is the heart of the plume from my last dyno run. If you don't want that following you when you put the hammer down, get some other injectors.

Edit: PODs are Lucas "Prince of Darkness" Injectors

POD's are a really good upgrade. I love mine and would never go back.... I have some home made injector puller stuff if you want to borrow it.

mhuppertz I might I have to talk to you if I get my PODs. How much do the PODs smoke? I want more smoke but I only want it when I REALLY get on the throttle. I noticed on the piers website that the PODs might 'haze' at idle, something i also really don't want. Also how bad do these things hurt my fuel economy?

Thanks
