[Vwdiesel] What makes an injector stick and make a sound like you have bl...

[James Hansen]

That would be just fine Bryan.
Pump on the 1.6 NA has identical pumping bits as compared to the higher 
pressure later years.  It has to do with fuel delivery timing- the 
higher pressure gets the fuel in sooner, letting it burn for a longer 
time.  Downside is nitrogen emissions.  Upside is better use of your 
hydrocarbons.  If you're fueled to the nuts, watch the egt's for the 
first bit, as higher pressures give a tad less advance. (takes longer 
for the injector to pop).

I've always had my injectors set to my own spec of 15 bar higher than 
what is called for.  noisier, but starts better- better atomization.
