I’ve just installed the K&N air filter. It feels like the TDI 300 got some more power now.

Tracking the temperature of the EGT much more complex then the tracking I did with the turbo pressure values.
The factors that are raising the EGT temperature are:
1. Pressing the gas pedal (immediate upload)
2. Temperature environment (differences of tens of degrees in EGT) – hot or cold day.
3. Continuous load on the turbo engine (accelerator pedal on maximum  for a few minutes.)
4. Of course that also the road conditions affect (going uphill, strong winds  etc.)

The gauge that I’ve  installed can store the maximum value reached.  To date, the values Celsius, UPSTREAM (after engine, before turbo) are:
1. Most relaxed urban driving – 200-300C.
2. Traveling in non-urban areas without pressing the gas pedal down- 250-350C.
3. Traveling in non-urban areas with the gas pedal pressed down to the maximum with around 17PSI, temperaure values on 350 and up. Generally around 450- 520.
4. Observed Max Value of EGT Temperature – 580C.

I’ve just installed a boost gague I’ve got from eBay.
I have installed it from on the exit of the turbo to the injection pump.

The photo above shows the 2″ boost gague I’ve installed. I’ve got it from eBay. Model is Swoosh SA-58.

Note: In this article I will describe the process of installing an additional A/C compressor as on-board air compressor. In order to keep things simple- the original A/C

compressor will be referred as “A/C compressor“, and the on-board air compressor will be referred as “Air compressor“. Read the rest of this entry »
