my AAZ has T3, custom boost pin and 11mm pump piston, de goved, running just over 30psi it spins in 1st 2nd and 3rd in the dry and 4th and 5th in the wet, infact i can do a standing burn out in 5th gear with a little water down. if i get the gear change right i can pull away from my mates 200bhp VR6 mk2 golf 8)

no one can knock the AAZ, it turned my gear box into mince meat thow and now im running 6speed :cry:

btw im selling it if anyone is intrested :wink:

Wow, that sounds good man.
I can't wait to get mine on the road and see what she does!
My golf G60 is very fast but can never beat a 200hp VR6!
Hopefully my 1.9 diesel will be faster :D  I can't wait

Rich, what was the 11mm piston from? Did you swap the whole pump head and cam plate?

im sure it wud do betta if i had more traction and an intercooler, it just spins up wen the boost kicks in.

the pump piston and head is off an AFN i believe, you must keep the AAZ cam plate as the TDI cam plate doesnt work in IDI, i found out the hard way :roll: , i had to get the pump piston machined a little to fit the cam plate, changed my gov spring for a load of washers, also using the pump top off a 1.6TD and took an angle grinder to my boost pin. short 2.5" exhaust straight through with no boxes, bleed valve, stock injectors and a big rad with twin speed big fans to keep it cool

it takes a lot of setting up, but wen you find that sweet spot wen air and fuel are perfect you will be laughing past cars you never thort you would, because that much torque in an old VW that weighs half the amount of these new cars, you will find urself racing anything under 25 grand 8)

I was for a drive in the Rocco today and it is retarded!  We left 3 strips, 2 with the tires and one from the exhaust..  all he is running for exhaust is the downpipe!  What a drive though, spins through 3rd easy on the dry pavement.

I hear it's radical, but haven't been for a drive yet.

My old GTD caddy ran a similar setup but with standard pump piston and was a fat slab of fun. I'm building a mk1 driver with a tweaked AAZ - I've just scored a 11mm TDI pump, can you enlighten me on what machining was required and what other probs may arise on fitting this to the AAZ pump.

Cheers!
