Love my car after todays work from you guys. Cannot wait for the turbo kit. Bespoke custom work. The best quality. Can't get enough of your videos. Just keeps me wanting to come back for more and more seeing where you guys take things

2023 is gonna be getting wild we get the v12amarok thats gonna be one hell of a beast in your hands

I've driven a 204bhp with DSG that I hired from Leighton Vans and that was nice (pulled out of a service station on A1 and was easily up to speed by the end of the slip road) so I would imagine these feel genuinely quick and satisfying. 4Motion to make power delivery effortless in all weather conditions, like the one I drove, would be ideal for me also. There's just something about a quick van 😊 I like these videos. Thank you 👍

Did mine 2 and a half years ago with the Darkside kit. 241bhp and still going strong. Manual gearbox on mine, so no real issues with lag... pulls like a train in 3rd. Just can't get into 2nd gear fast enough. Vans should be this quick.😂

@@craigjames1355 I think the turbo kit was about £2500. Comes complete from Darkside. Look on their website for current prices, or give them a call, they are very helpful. I used a Wagner intercooler £800, fitted all that myself saving labour. upgraded Sachs clutch £1200 fitted. About another £500 ontop for tuning/mapping etc. I had it tuned in the Midlands, those Darkside boys are busy, busy, busy. Was it worth it? If a great big smile on your face is worth it when you drive it for the first time, then absolutely. Hope that helps.

@@craigjames1355 I've not measured the output since, but still drives great. If you drive it normal it's good, you get good fuel economy, just have to remember the turbo is bigger so it doesn't kick in til 2800rpm, compared to 2200rpm for the standard turbo. They are laggy if you are just cruising then want to boot it. Manual works well because you just drop a gear or two. 3rd gear in the manual is where all the fun is. The DSG is better tuned with the van I believe.

113bhp increase is a nice increase indeed 👌🏼 Have you ever modded a new beetle ? Mine’s the pd 100 ATD 2003. I’ve had a look one your web regarding an egr delete kit. I seem to have a weird engine though. The top hose from the egr to intercooler pipe has a smaller aluminium/clip connector to the egr than at the other end. As per usual the lugs have worn on egr side on I’ve got zip ties holding it in (the old trick) can I find the correct new pipe ? Nope 😂 it’s 1CO 145 838 E.

You didn't bleed fuel injectors before putting all together? Those injectors are very sensitive to run without fuel. They just need 2 seconds without fuel and they are junk. Pls next time add video from dash how its accelerate.

@@DarksideDevelopments I had a problem with injectors in Crafter 2018+. To change glow plugs I had to remove fuel rail. After that I dont bleed system, run engine and he itself died. I tried 2 days start the engine, few technics to bleed fuel and nothing. Injectors were junk. Somebody tried to renew them but this dont help. So I bought 4 new injectors and company that sold me them, told me to bleed system without conected plugs to injectors. When I was 100% sure that fuel is in injectors, I connected plugs and start engine. Everything was great after this. I think without bleeding I would destroy injectors again.
