Re: Changed cars...
AHF is 110 Bhp, 150 Bhp is the max you can get on the tiny blower. The beauty is that 11mm pump, race nozzles and a hybrid turbo (GT1749VB or GT1752v) will bolt on with little tweaks and will give you over 200 Bhp ! Clutch won't hold but a Sachs SRE will set you back £500 and will take 500 Nm of to...

What are you doing with the a6 quattro ? I went on a 2000 miles trip to eastern europe in a b5 audi a4 v6 tdi quattro, it took 3 tanks each way ! The quattro has a smaller tank than a FWD and it will drink a little bit more however you will love the relentless torque and planted ride in the twisties...

Re: A drop ofPetrol with diesel fill up?
Yep, it's known practice in Eastern Europe from keeping the diesel fuel from "waxing" in freezing weather...nowadays they use kerosene at the refinery to thin the diesel fuel !

Re: is premium diesel worth the extra pennies?
I would just use regular Shell or BP diesel and add a little 2 stroke oil, the BP Ultimate and VP Power are too "dry" fuels as they are specified for latest, "cleanest" CR engines so they can meet the Euro 5 emissions !

Re: Just bought a new DAILY........
The v6 tdi will be 5mpg worse off and not as powerful, it will be in some sort of limp mode too without a working Needle Lift Sensor... You need to remember that the v6 has a very flat power delivery and might feel slow but it isn't !

I have a bit of experience with the Bosch pumps fitted to cummins engines, I guess you'd be after one from a b-series 5.9? They come in several power outputs, 130, 143 and 160 bhp pumps are common. This is the pump i am after, off the 245 Bhp engine with 6 speed gearbox. Need it just for the intern...
