I regularly get asked the same sort of questions on my Piggypower FB page and often see the same stuff come up on other pages and forums...here too...
So I'm going to compile the most common and do a FAQ video on 306s/diesel tuning...
Any good suggestions?

1.a Turning the boost/fuel/lols up on a bosch pump
1.b LDA grinds/adjustment (both grinding and turning 180degrees so the more aggressive side is controlling the pin)
2. Govn' modding the bosch VE pump
4. Tuning a lucas pump (OH NOES HE SAID IT)

Yeah I'll likely cover 1a/b briefly with a link to Darrens guide which covers it just fine.
Point 3 will be "fit a bosch" standard reply

Be good to recap those commonly asked questions here so people don't double post?

i want to see some proper dutrbo tuning videos. How to do it from scratch, how to fit a bosch, how to fit the boost controller, how to turn up the pump, how to buy and filter veg... fitting a bigger IC, BOv, a whole series specifically on the dturbo would be great. Id have one but all of this is still just magic to me.

This isnt an idea thread for series of how to's...although the ideas are excellent...I have been considering buying a cheap xud dturbo for just such a series..
But more FAQs that always get asked...
Like what is best... Xud or hdi... Which turbo is best... Etc

I have been meaning to re do my "XUD Tuning Video" on youtube for the last 7 years, but not got around to it yet....Got quite a bit of new footage at one point inside the pump, but never found the time to finish it. Have always wanted to drop a car on the dyno, and perform / explain each mod, and then show the gains, but again, yet to get around to it!

Surely if you're doing this to answer all the questions you regularly get asked it'd be easier/more relevant to compile the list yourself from your youtube and facebook pages?

Fair shout. How about a few "how does it work" videos - turbo, fuel pump, injectors, etc.

.....still not sure people are quite getting what I'm doing here......
FAQ.
"frequently asked questions"
As said before...I'm not struggling for ideas on how to's or projects...I probably have years worth...its time and money thats the restriction...
But I'm asking if anyone has noticed common FAQs
?!

you cant stop the Noobs from asking the same questions all the time.
i.e you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
