[Vwdiesel] More Quantum Questions?

[mark shepherd]

HiBill.
Only buy the tester, and not the overpriced kit. Those nozzles are $10 each, 
and the shields are wrong.

The tester itself is not the best looking one, and is clearly a $5 bottle 
jack with a tee screwed on!
I would look for one off Ebay if I was you.
Home made is better, because you can use a larger scale gauge from the 
beginning and  achieve better than spec balancing of sets of injectors. 
So....

All your Dasher stuff will transfer. The Dasher injectors may be better than 
new replacements, if original. However, best not to mix n/a and turbo 
injectors until break pressures are equalised, else n/a injectors will 
inject earlier than TD ones.

This is not life threatening etc, but just another addition to lumpy idling.
Some advocate [including me] good injectors set to n/a pressures can lead to 
better fuel economy..
