[Vwdiesel] ITS ALIVE........ALIVE I TELL YOU!!!!!

[Hayden Chasteen]

Well swapped an NA pump into the caddy today just to make sure 
everything is OK in the engine itself.  Went to fire her up and 
discovered that I had run the battery down,DOH!   Anyway after an hour 
of charging, 4 cranks and she fired right up...in a cloud of smoke!  
Smoke dissipated after a few minutes but will really pump it out when 
you gun it.  I guess that is what happens when you try and run turbo 
injectors with a NA pump.  Anyway, I let it run long enough for the fan 
to come on and then did the 1/4 turn on the head bolts...1-7 went 
without a sound, 8 squeaked and squawked, then 9 and 10 went quietly.  
Now if I can just get that turbo pump...JD Tower are your out 
there!!!!!!!  Tomorrow I intend to put on the rear bumper and license 
lights and the TURBODIESEL badge that I have for it.  As soon as I get 
the correct pump in I will post some more pics to my web page.  Hayden
