currently building a mk4 1.9L. This video is so helpful. keep killin it.cheers!
Thank you for the support! More to come on different vehicles too!
Man... I killed my injection pump by my own mistake when I installed a set of bigger Injectors on my mk4 jetta.. Glad to see someone do it and not murder their vehicle in the process XD. If you love vw diesels I will say the new common rails are amazing once you delete and tune them. I have a 2012 passat and she rips! I can still pull off 48 mpg on the highway which is pretty close to what my old 1.9 could do
Yeah a lift pump is a must at these power levels for sure! And stay tuned, we will have a commonrail on the channel here soon 😎
Perfect opportunity to get a mechanical pump from eastern Europe ✌️
How much bigger injectors
If I do mine I was planning on going slightly bigger but not huge
Cost wise? It really depends on who is building them. I believe the .280’s were around $400
For this engine 0.280 make no sens. 0.216 is the Best choice and make 200hp+ for more power you need another engine like ARL and Will be cheap beacause you need only bigger turbo and chip tuning for 230hp. Why?? ARL have stronger engine block and all parts inside from factory.
Seeing this after i crashed mine couple of weeks ago hurts a little bit inside, but hey, it always comes back stronger! You did an amazing job and after im done fixing it up, made me wanna upgrade my injectors aswell
Get after it! Theyre a blast to drive
Definitely wanna see it back at the track
Nice work! Its almost like you are an engineer. Got to ride in ths car and its legit. Pulls like an STI but starts from 1k to redline. Great little sleeper car.
now yes seems running good
You give me motivation for my newly acquired 03 golf 4 door tdi manual with 355,066 miles on the dash. All new fluids. Lucas in the transmission. You said it's the perfect daily driver, and I think your right. Now To 500k and beyond
It’s amazing what these little engines can handle
Darkside components, top notch From England
Been a while since I’ve seen this car came a long way I’m impressed well done 👏 Just bought my old mk5 2.0tdi 4motion golf back missed the diesel life haha
Thanks! And welcome back. More to come. We all have full time jobs right now so posting frequently is a bit of a challenge.
Like the turbo intake pipe
The song is amazing for 1.9 TDI VP !
really really good video im proud to be here before 2k im sure this channel will go far and im hoping to see more content!
Thank you for the support! We really appreciate it. Stay tuned! More to come
Dude this is amazing, I've been going through kerma tdi (kind of a rip off for the power you get) but I'm invested in this build. You should do a 3 inch straight pipe if you haven't already.
Thank you for the support! And it’s already got one 😎
I've been driving around with the MAF and EGR unplugged, and all emissions parts deleted and piped, she runs great now, and goes chooo.
wow that sounds amazing too for a diesel
very clean golf nice👍
Very cool build! TDI's have a come a very long way since I started modifying mine over 20 years ago. Back then you really only had 2 choices for chips and only a VNT17 for a "big" turbo. One day I'll get back to work on mine. The turbo shaft warped on it about 8 years ago and haven't touched it since. It was a Kerma sourced 1856SV. Going bigger since technology is so much better on turbos now.
Thank you for the support! The newer generation turbos are great! Lots of people running GTB, GTC, and GTD’s on these cars now. They’re much more efficient
Gtb2060vklr best Daily
Now how much hp could it push now tho
@@alpha_king1778 I think the GTB1756VK is good until the low 200 range. maybe 250hp at best.
Question for you guys -- how much better are these newer turbos than my 17/22 hybrid?
I don't know about 9s ..lol but she sounds and looks like she's happy, good street runner
I think it has the potential to hit high 9’s in the 1/8 😎
Guys, keep that sh up, its so interesting to watch, how you build your vw golf, ima huge golf fan, this videos are really helpful. Thank yall!
No problem! Thank you for the support!
Compound turbo setup 👌
A likely possibility down the road 😎
Glad you took my suggestion for the upgraded tip pipe, I saw a difference on my pd with a gt1752v, you should feel a big difference with response!
It was night and day!
What’s an upgraded tip pipe?
Loving the content. Should take it on the street and see what it can keep up with 🤙🤙🤙
Bro I just installed rear beam bushings, vr6 front brakes, and some bc coil overs on my alh. I have stage 4 Malone rn w 216s. But ima be doing turbo intercooler and bigger injectors after a 6 speed swap. Glad to see another alh living it's best second life.
I like your style of video and am now subscribed!
Thank you for the support!
Cool setup bro! I have the Audi A4 B5 with 110Hp AFN Engine with bigger turbo. 0.216 injectors, central IC and it does 150HP at the moment. Love these old TDI's - can be fun to drive while still reliable :D
Thanks for the support! And for sure. MPG actually improved a little bit with the new injectors! The old ones were likely worn out after all the mileage
Fit an sdi camshaft for longer duration on the valves...11mm injection pump for some more horsepurrs👍
I’ve heard a lot of good things about the SDI cam. More airflow 😎
thats a sweet build right there
Thank you for the support!
Get a 12mm right fuel pump head and an aggressive lift plate.. I have .30 injectors.. holly crap.. It's so fun.. vnt 17vb running 26 psi, cam advance 6 degree, fueling 76 mg a stroke on my tune.. heads ported with dual spring. Screaming beast redline at 6500 rpm.. alh tdi
this is one of those cars thats gonna be a cult favourite in 10 years, so easy to get good gains and a fun nugget to drive. Most of the vag group 1.9tdi hatches for that matter, allthough u.s doesnt get the skoda or seat. I'm looking to buy a beetle with 1.9tdi and do a similar build.
Yeah we really got the short end of the stick on TDI’s. The ones that made it here were always the lowest HP spec for the most part
Mk4 was my first car 1.6 16 valve ❤ those TDI's i remember used to get 150 hp with just a remap. You do know a bora front end bolts on i was always looking someone with a blue bora to do it with mine lol they called them bolfs 😂
Bolfs! That’s pretty funny. Here in the states they call them Jolfs 😂
Saving this channel since I'm looking to get better performance on my 02 beetle
Welcome!
Thanks
You’re welcome!
I'm hoping to get full .230 injectors soon. I have .216 a 11mm injection pump, 10mm pump delivery valves, piggyback tuner and a 1852 hybrid turbo, 3 bar. No idea what kind of power it makes. Nice build u got going man!
Thank you! Sounds like you got one going yourself too
How does the 1852 go, I’m thinking of getting the 17/56
The GTB series turbos do much better than the old GT style. Less exhaust back pressure and you can make more power with less boost. They also don’t have as many problems with the vanes clogging up. Don’t know much about the 1852 to be honest
Wow, that almost looks professional ! Seriously though, very clean setup. I've left mine stock all these years to minimize the odds that I screw something up, lol.
Playing it safe is definitely good for reliability
Install the 11mm pump head, look for a 6 speed box....and up the brakes..Big time
Nice to see you have Darkside development parts did not know they ship to the us form the uk
That they do! And rather quickly too!
@@GasHouseGarage one day when that engine fails in that car hopefully not for a long time I would recommend swapping it with a PD 130 AZ engine they can hold crazy amount of power. I have one of these engines running 400 wheel horsepower stock internals with a GTB, 3072vkr turbo The only thing that has been done to. It is ported pistons and it has been reliable for two years without any sign of engine explosions 😂😂😂
Yes, I think I jinxed myself with this comment. The engine finally blew up recently but 80,000 miles with that kind of power running on it. I have now installed another engine see how long this one lasts.
@@livinglifeboosted1642 Uh oh! What happened?
Love the build man! enjoying following along. If you don’t mind me asking, where’d you purchase the head studs from? I’ve been bugging arp for about a year now to get an update on production lol and they keep pushing the availability date
Hey there! Thank you for the support! The head studs I purchased from XDP. I had heard the same thing so I was kind of surprised they had some in stock
Exhaust gas temperature gauge and intercooler next
Twin (Garrett gtx5544r) Turbos 😜👍
Hello nice car! I live in The Netherlands and have a golf mk4 arl tdi-gti 180hp and a seat cordoba afn tdi 135hp
Thank you! and welcome to the channel! Which car is your favorite?
Take out the headliner from you car, install an alcantara fabric with foam backing and watch your interior become insanely good looking!
It definitely needs to be done!
sweet
The Pump nozzles are more expensive than the whole car 😂😂
Sounds about right 😂
How many firad % are those nozzles ?
Oh these aren’t like PD’s they’re more along the lines of old school Cummins injectors. The stock injectors for an ALH are 185um or so and the new ones are 280um. The bodies are also a bit larger to increase flow. It was about $400 for the injector rebuild
Oooo that’s Whatsupp because pd’s 100/120 cost here in the Netherlands easy 1000euro or more that’s why I said they cost more than the whole car 😂😂. Btw I’m gonna subscribe your channel I kinda like experimenting with old cars 💯👍🏼
Hey the $400 still isn’t far off 😂 and thanks for the support! We have more builds coming here in the future, so stay tuned!
my old alh had injectors identical to the ones you have and with the original turbo gt15 doing 2.1b every day 😆
Nice where can I find these injectors I have a 2001 ALH 1.9 Jetta 5 speed.
@@cesarsolis6379 At the time, I exchanged the original injectors for ones already assembled and calibrated with a larger caliber with a colleague, but if you look for parts stores in Portugal (Santerchips) for example or search for 1.9 vp injector nozzles, they will appear for sale
Just met u at the gas station u got a number
Hey man! Send me a DM on Instagram, that’ll be the best way. Link to it is in the video description
Nice. Now it can keep up with traffic LOL
I’d say it’s quicker than your average car
@GasHouseGarage He's obviously never driven a modded TDI. The torque is so much fun!
What is the fuel filter set up you’re running? Also, did you buy the fuel lines from filter to the injection pump or make them?
Fuel filter setup is from Nicktane. I wouldn’t recommend the 1-12 thread kit as the filters are difficult to find. The fuel lines running from the filter to the pump are OEM VAG
Only more boost, gtb1756 = 30psi ❤
WoW man, nice build! I have an interesting question, wich smf did you mount? Did you notice more noise or vibration? I'm thinking about swaping mine to, thank you!!
Thank you! The car still has the stock clutch in it at the moment. We will have a SMF and upgraded clutch from Kentucky clutch going in soon!
@@GasHouseGarage wtf and the stock clutch doesn't slip with this injectors?
I’m equally as shocked hahah but our tuner put a torque limiter in the lower rpm’s to help prevent clutch slippage, so far so good! Right now the power really comes in after about 3200rpms, but it also pulls all the way to 5k
where do you find mechanics like this in the real world
I have an 1.9 TDI AHF with bigger injectors and hybrid turbo but unfortunately where i live (Portugal) its not possible to have a modified car like yours with bigger intercooler or anything that is not stock is not allowed without being penalized by the Police.
Would be alot of fun to have my car with the same mods as you !
That is unfortunate! At least you can still have a bigger turbo and injectors!
@@GasHouseGarage yeah because its not noticeable 🤫
I'd like to know what intercooler is there a universal one?
I'd like to know what intercooler is there a universal one?
Hey there! Check our first video out “golf gets a turbo upgrade” We have a link to the intercooler in the description as well as a breakdown of the parts
Nice video! Quick question, what is your fuel consumption now when driving normally?
Thank you for the support! No different from before. If anything it has gone up slightly. That’s if you’re driving normally :)
@@GasHouseGarage really? That’s amazing, can’t wait for the dyno video.
Yeah! It’s pretty amazing haha. The MPG increase is probably due to the new injectors. The stock ones had 300k on them so I’m sure the spray pattern wasn’t very efficient. Stay tuned!
120% injectors, gtb2260vklr map done rapid

Thank you!
it sounds good for a diesel
Not too shabby eh!
Were did you get the kit for fitting the pd in tank pump? It looks very tidy. Thanks
Welcome to the channel! You can get the wiring kit from IDparts
Now did you upgrade your injection pump from the 10mm to the 11mm?
Still on the 10mm pump
What turbo and IP are you running? If you have an EGT gauge, what are your temps at WOT on long pulls? I recently installed a GT1856V, .260 injectors, head studs, SB STG3 Endurance clutch, 11mm IP on my 03 Golf.
Hey there! Im running a 10mm pump, GTB1756VK turbo. Longer pulls I’d say around 12-1300°F
Hey forgot to ask what are you using for tuning? And do you know what torque numbers your running?
Not sure about the torque as the tune has a torque limiter for the stock clutch. This setup should be good for around 200whp and 325-350lb/ft. The injectors are good for around 250whp, so the turbo is the limiting factor after the clutch. Tekmektronics is who we will be using for the updated tune after the clutch
@@GasHouseGarage oh cool I’ve heard good things about tekmektronics! I was looking to do a tunezilla/malone stage 5 tune later this year with an upgraded clutch, new injectors and nozzles, turbo, map sensor etc but cascade German commented on my post and said they don’t recommend anything over stage 4 or 300 foot pounds without a LSD, and I don’t really want to spend $1000 on a differential.
When I do my Clutch next week I was planning on welding the diff pin, because I know there are common to fail and grenade the trans
done it with 1z 1.9 from 90 to 200hp
1Z! The original 1.9 TDI
I have a pd150 Bora , engine rocks like
It’s going to fall out when I start it and turn it off .. I replaced dog
Bone mount and engine mounts still does it …. Is it normal for these engines ?
Diesels are usually pretty harsh on startup and shutdown, but if it seems excessive then you could have other issues. How are the other engine mounts holding up? I was gonna say dog bone but it sounds like you’ve already got that covered
Where did u get the box for the air filter? i need 1 f those xd
Welcome to the channel! That kit comes from darkside developments
I have a similar setup...what tune are you running...
I need some help understanding maps...I want to start learning to doy own Fuelling and tuning....
Mine is currently.smokey on the top end under WOT
We had the tune written for us. If it’s Smokey and losing power at the top end you might not have enough airflow. What turbo are you running You could also try advancing the injection timing some
Its a Gt1749 Hybrid... Thanks for the tip..I'll look into that..
Yeah you might be running out of air up there. I’d look into getting a GTB series or newer turbo they flow much better than the old GT series
Im putting this engine in a 93 excel.. can you help me get to where youre at
Sure thing! Have you watched the turbo kit install video? It also has links of where we got those parts. A stronger clutch is definitely recommended. Also, whoever you get your injectors from make sure they pop test and balance them. You’ll also need a nice tune. The key with these engines is not bringing in the power too early to keep the rods from snapping.
You can get a budget GTB turbo kit from Darkside if you don’t want to spend the extra for easily swapping the turbo for something else down the road
What are the buttons, in the driver's door pocket?. Greetings.
Just window switches, window lock and door lock. The ones below are for the gas flap and the hatch release
Hey man great video and great car down there, i have an mk4 but atd engine 101hp, actually made an ecu remap and we'r almost at 150hp something less 330nm torque, and it already smoke almost like your but i have stock injectors, how do u manage with black smoke to avoid being like a carbon train in 2023? i would like to improve it bit more like 180hp more or less without loosing acceleration. any suggestion?
Thank you! And welcome to the channel! We didn’t write the tune. But we do understand it somewhat. You could try reducing fueling at lower RPM’s with a little bit more boost without raising exhaust back pressure too much. This might clear up some smoke down low. Another thing to check is piping. There was a noticeable difference in smoke when we went with larger turbo inlet and outlet piping. The 90hp VE stock piping is very small though
Thanks alot i'll check it out, hope to see more mk4 videos in the future.@@GasHouseGarage
Stay tuned!
How did doing one headstud at a time hold up? Ive done it on a 6.0 ps for a friend but the thing got wrecked very shortly after and never got to see how it held up.
So far so good! Haven’t had any head gasket issues and the car has had this setup for around 20,000 miles now
@@GasHouseGarage nice good to hear! Thanks!
Wish I had friends who would do this with my mk4 jetta lol I'm a total car noob how much did this cost you?
I'm sure you could find some to help you with your next project! Maybe go to some local VW meets and start chatting! Just the injectors were around $450. The whole ordeal, turbo, injectors, FMIC, pipe kit, tuning, and the oddball pieces here and there was probably around $3500-$4000, however you don't need to spend that much to make similar power. The turbo kit I went with was more on the expensive side. Darkside sells a cheaper kit with the same turbo for about half the price
I am about to embark on this journey myself and was wondering if it was not worth just slapping a pd150 in there as they can be had for around the price of a new turbo in the UK £500-800
That is totally up to you! We never got the PD150 in the states, I believe the highest output PD’s came in Passats here but those were 2.0L BHW’s at 134hp. Golfs and Jetta’s were PD100’s. Don’t be too shy of the VE engines. Our tuner is making around 320whp in his daily VE TDI with large single. I wouldn’t run much more than 200-250whp on a VE without lowering the compression a bit though
@@GasHouseGarage Never knew you didn't get the big 150pd! I have done some minor tuning on a AAZ similar setup but never big horsepower numbers. Was thinking of putting a full mechanical pump on like a landrover 300tdi pump as that's a common mod here in the UK.
In the rover, are those the 5 cylinder tdis?
Your golf is manual obviously..which came with a 10mm head pump in the diesel injection pump...in the automatic golf mk4 ..they cane with an 11mm head pump..which will deliver more diesel to those injectors... Once timed correctly its a noticeable difference torque wise... And while your at it fire in an SDI camshaft..boom..get some bigger brakes first tho if I was you ..:)
Got another 10mm laying around we might do some work to eventually and put 11mil internals in. Headwork is coming next 😎
Where did you get the bigger intake pipe at?
Darkside developments has them. Email them the info on your car and what you’re looking for and they will steer you in the right direction
What are you using for a tuner?
We had someone custom tune the car. However the interface cable we used was MPPSv13.02
Can you obd flash this ecu…? Good project
Thank you! And yes you can. Only after 00’ I believe
@@GasHouseGarage but still have two eeproms right?
I believe there is only one from the factory but is slotted for two if I’m not mistaken
What make are the larger injectors
Custom built by jaminjection. Check out their website!

did the .28 affect idle and low rpm operation?
Wouldn’t say so much low RPM operation but when it’s cold it does idle a little rough
Need bigger turbo
hows the head gasket holding up? should i replace if im installing studs?
So far so good! Ive always found it to be a good rule of thumb to replace the head gasket when doing head work though.
@@GasHouseGarage yes exactly
What is all done to the engine? This looks like perfect power to keep my trans alive in my alh ranger swap and still be peppy. How well has it held up?
So far 30k miles and it’s still kickin. Biggest thing is to not bring in the power super early with the tune or lug the engine. It’s a diesel yes but it’s also a very small one designed for passenger cars.
Basically just headstuds, GTB1756vk turbo, .280 injectors and some pipework
My ranger only weighs 500 more than my 02 jetta. I may go with a ARL rotating assembly for peice of mind on the bottom end
What psi is your boost cut?
Roughly 30psi. That’s a about what the 1756VK is good to
How do you find the solid mass flywheel over the dual mass?
Hi there!
We have not installed the single mass flywheel and upgraded clutch yet. We’re actually doing the suspension first as it needs some help. (Video coming soon) but one of our team members drives a TDI Jetta with a single mass and upgraded clutch. It feels just like the stock clutch
@GasHouseGarage thank you my dual mass is bad so looks like I'll be doing the same. Nice work too those injectors definitely made a difference 👏
Thank you for the support! Stay tuned!
What type of clutch was that? Who made it?
We’re still running the stock clutch. Working on getting the new one in. The new one was built to spec by Kentucky Clutch. Give them a call and they can build one for you to whatever power level you want
@@GasHouseGarage wow that is so crazy. You just solidified my decision! Those were the guys I emailed yesterday! I made a post on a Facebook group and they were recommended by a few people so I had already contacted them but I was just curious what your clutch was.
People have said good things about them and the price is very good too
What version of mpps are you using?
Welcome to the channel! We’re using MPPS V13.02

Men more videos about this delicious
220 wheel hp? at the crank and should be very good
The injectors and turbo are good for about 220 at the wheel. Torque limiter in the tune is probably bringing that down some but that’ll go away when we get the new clutch in
@@GasHouseGarage in Portugal we do this setup for more than 10 years, an 1756vk or 2056vk can do max 230hp at crank. And still need exaust, fuel pump 12mm, front intercoller, new piping, map sensor 4bar or 6, fuel tank pump arl(pd150) to help to create more fuel pressure and a big tune for 220. And the new head bolts and gasget
How high are you revving the 12mm pump? From my understanding they don’t take revs very well. If we can get 200 at the wheel on the dyno I’d be happy 😃
Wait we can remove our maf? Is there a draw back?
You can have a tune written based only on MAP values. If you do that you can run without a MAF. Ive heard the problem is the waffle structure in the MAF makes the air too turbulent on higher HP applications so the readings aren’t as accurate, but unsure of the validity on that
@Gas House Garage didn't realize we could do this w our ecu. What software beyond vcds do you use? Btw not sure what your steering wheel situation is, but I searched for a 3 spoke mk4 wheel forever, ended up realizing u could use one from a 2012 and just wire it super simply. 2012 are much easier to find at the yards.
We actually had someone write the tune for the car. From my understanding it’s more than just turning it off. I think some tables have to be re-written as well
Info on the custom injectors ?

@@GasHouseGarage Thanks for the reply man, yeah, I understand your concerns but if you can't share the whole file, could you atleast share/make a video about 1 tiny part of it? More specifically, pump voltage table, that would be extremely helpful not only for me, but also everybody that is trying out your setup!
I’ll see what I can do. I don’t have WinOLS though. VCDS gives some pump voltages but probably not what you’re looking for?
@@GasHouseGarage Yeah vcds wont cut it, easiest way to look at insides of the file would be vagecusuite :)

Hi there! Sadly, we never got those in the states.
@GasHouseGarage I know but aren't the blocks and heads about/easily accessible nowadays
Likely, could probably get one imported. I know BEW blocks/heads are everywhere over here. I believe the block is either very similar or the same as the ALH. The rods are really the weakpoint in the VE engines (which we will be doing something about that here in the future 😎). But there are a lot of people making good power from these. I’ve seen a few at 350+whp on youtube
I'm using .280's, pd150 turbo (gt1749vb), 3bar map sensor and smf on the asv motor, runs at 180hp with 460nm torque
Bigger turbo is deffo the next step but i recommend a fmic. I'm still using the factory side mount and it heat soaks real bad
Watermeth and a bigger turbo is my next steps - i'd recommend you go bigger than the pd150 turbo for the size injectors you're using, that was a mistake i made
