It just doesent seem sufficient to hold that pulley in place there.

Nice work and a good set of numbers

With the pulley being on a taper it should be fine as you have torqued it up to spec.

Does it go any better/ better MPG or just too early to tell!

Seems to run the same as before, no difference in power delivery etc. although I've not yet given it the foot.

What I have noticed though is the MPG on the computer seems to have increased by about 4 MPG, from 43 to around 47 - 48 ish.

That is a good result should recover the cost of the software in a matter of..............................days / weeks / months / years*

Power seems to be lower down on the rev range now (just after the turbo comes in at 2k) whereas before with the timing too advanced by about 5 degrees the power was nearer the 3000 rpm mark. That's the only thing ive noticed today on my daily 60 mile commute.

About a year or so possibly.

I expect he has already saved the software cost, by being able to do the job himself.

The mpg increase is an ongoing bonus.

Very true Chris. A VAG indi wanted £130 ish to carry out the same job, so the extra functions of VOL-FCR I can now use are a bonus, along with the experience I have of carrying out the job myself.

I am planning on putting a How-To together when I have time as there seems to be very little info out there on how this is actually done.
