That fuel screw 'hingy
#1
Right so... bash bash bash and the anti tamper cover is off. Wound the screw in four turns and yep, it feels pokier.

Seems to clean up the smoke when on boost but theres a fair bit when off boost, even with an LDA grind. Is there much I can do about that now? Especially as I haven't touched the wastegate yet, sure that'll see me hit 25psi or so but that won't help smoke lower in the revs, will it?

Alot of it will just be learning to be more progressive with the throttle as you will be used to driving an na petrol. you can fiddle with the starwheel under the lda cap though. 4 bolts to remove the lid, twist the lda pin out, remove the big spring and then get a screwdriver on the splines on the outside of the spring seat and wind it up/anti-clockwise say 3 turns and go from there winding it up or down a bit after test drives to suit.

Pfft, progressive with the throttle my arse. Foot's either off or on Wink

So what you're saying is... more fuel?

You will need to get used to operating the throttle pedal, as on / off with lively VE is a bad plan for bogging / lag

What i said about the lda/starwheel adjustment means that the spring seats higher up, therefore puts more pre-load on the lda pin, which means it doesnt drop down as easy/needs more boost/pressure in order to drop all the way down. so basically, means the pin doesnt drop all the way down (giving full fuelling) at like 5 psi, it means it needs more like 15 psi until it fully drops.

Definetly lda settings makes allot of difference! The t25 was blowing clean on and off boost with the k14 settings. Adjusted the lda settings and transformed it kicked fuel in when needed. Iv found allot of people don't even touch lda spring!

You soon get used to not bogging it...

I'm tempted frankly to go with an NA pump, I'm so used to controlling it anyway!!!

100% standard LDA system FTW!
