Hey Adam, I’m not sure VW sell the pulley on its own but this is the one I bought 050401-BFCGC-AFG it’s a febi bilstein so it’s a good quality part, it’s been fitted to my van for months now with absolutely no issue

Thank you! Is the original cable braided? I think I saw them for around £15 however I went for this one because it’s a solid core so (hopefully) shouldn’t suffer the same fate

@@TeeeTV I am pretty sure it's exactly the same as the old one you extracted. It obviously had many miles on it so a braided new one would have been fine too.

Sorry for such a slow reply to this but I’ve been researching what you’ve said to apply it to my van, it looks like what you’re saying can be done to an older 1.9tdi with an EDC15 ECU however mine is a EDC16, and while I can’t turn the turbo valve without causing an EML I can turn the EGR off and adjust the N75 valve in the map to achieve the same results.

Thank you! Should mean I have plenty of headroom before I start breaking stuff. I’m pretty sure the gearbox is the first to break anyway

Ahhh the clutch needs doing soon anyway, I’m just speeding up the inevitable

Thank you! The dongle is called an MPPS V16, you’ll need to run the MPPS software on windows xp to be able to read/write to the Ecu :)

@@TeeeTV thank you! I got one on amazon. I will try it ✌️

​​@@TeeeTV it works!!! This rolling shit Box is realy fast now 🤣🤣🤣 got from 105bhp to 137bhp and from 250nm to 299nm 👌👌👌

😂😂 I’m going to take this comment as fact and start telling everyone! Equality for all!

It’s not a stage 3, it’s just me breaking down the changes I was making into 3 stages, a proper stage 3 would require alot of hardware changes (intake, intercooler, turbo, gearbox etc). With the map in the van I was at around 100bhp, doesn’t sound like much but that’s nearly 20% over standard

@@TeeeTV i know. Ist Not a real stage 3. I think a Real stage 3 habe around 200 or 300 bhp. And 20% more Power is good

Yeah considering how little effort it took to make the changes I’m pretty happy, I’ve been working on the map since I made the video and I think right now I’m at around 120bhp :) I’ll have a new video up soon with how far I get with it

I just fitted one blanking plate mate, and I put it on the easiest pipe to get to, right at the top, seems to do the job just fine

@@TeeeTV thanks mate. Did your car go into limp mode when blanking ? Before you did the egr delete software.

No it ran fine after, actually better than ever since the egr wasn’t causing issues any more, I just had a permanent engine light on

@TeeeTV sorted got the plate ill give it a go. Thanks mate

Let me know how you get on

I’ve used the MPPS v16 software to read and write to the Ecu, I’ve used numbers/excel to make my changes to the data and I used a website called ecumasterhp to create the remap file, when you sign up to exumasterhp you get 3 months free map editing so it’s only worth signing up to once you have everything else ready :)

@@TeeeTV Thanks mate, I read the documentation on website. It mostly supports European vehicles, isn't it? Toyota is not supported.

Yeah, that’s one thing I noticed when I was researching doing the remap, info is very few and far between and you need very specific hardware and software depending on your Ecu. The only software I know of that might be able to do a Toyota is winOLS, but it ain’t cheap

@@TeeeTV if you want all vehicle support probably you need an Alien tech KTAG or KESS. I mean it's expensive. But I think way more cost effective than winols.

Oh I thought KTAG and KESS were hardware?

Thank you mate! Got lots more in the pipeline

I used the MPPS software to read and write to the ECU, I used excel/numbers to make my changes to the map and I used a website called ECUMasterHP to create the file that get written to the ECU, hope this helps!

@@TeeeTV thanks maaan

Thank you! More to come

Got a feeling you have no idea about the transporter community, or that a transporter will easily out price a golf gti. You might find people will laugh at your comment far more than they’ll laugh at me

I’ll be honest, it’s been a minute since I fixed the issue so my memory is a bit hazy, but I remember low down in the rev range it was horrible to drive, dangerously slow and very easy to stall, but was better in the higher rev range

@@TeeeTV thanks mate I've just ordered the delete fingers crossed

@@jasonwoods3120 let me know how you get on!

It does seem crazy to have identical engines with massively different power outputs. Considering the hardware I am using for mine has cost me £12 it’s got to be the highest bhp per £1 I have ever gained

@@TeeeTV Its pretty normal for VW and Mercedes to make same engine with different power, but better for us. :D

Yeah I guess it saves them money too just making one engine set up and then changing software

Yeah I guess it saves them money too just making one engine set up and then changing software

I think your either a transit fan or a transporter fan, going to be interesting which way people sway when the new transporter comes out since it’ll be identical to a transit just with different headlights

I used an app called FastR, the app logo looks like a turtle

Thank you so much

I will be investing in a proper data box of some sort, not sure which one yet but I agree that a 0-60 is not the most ideal test. Also I quickly realised how inaccurate a phone app is!

The map was written to the car using the native software for the MPPS V16, it has to be run on win xp

Yes I have recently been comparing a 105 map compared to mine and I did start looking for a 130 bin file but haven’t found one yet, when I do I’ll be using it to my advantage :)

Oooh yess, I’m aware! Why VW thought putting such a weak gearbox in a goods vehicle was a good idea is beyond me, guess I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled and my wallet full ready for a 6 speed

Thank you for your wisdom! But there’s something that’s been bothering me since I started this and it’s that I only seemed to have access to the iq by MAF and not the MAP. I thought maybe it was missed by the edcmasterhp website but I’ve been on winols and it’s not there, I can find the map’s axis but the data is just 00000. I can only assume that the BRR doesn’t have a MAP based smoke map available, which then gets me onto trying to work out the equation for the AFR, as far as I can tell the AFR under my current map set up (not the same map as the video) is between 20-24 and I’m struggling to bring in down into the 16-18 range under the current map parameters, without having a full copy of winols I don’t know how to change the axis of the maps. I haven’t really played with injection timing yet, I’m sort of trying to really get my head around the more basic maps before diving into crank angles. Any advise on AFR calcs would be very welcome! Why it couldn’t just run on MAP eh?

@@TeeeTV I believe it could be the duration maps that are limiting the AFR. I can look it up tonight, what is the part number and software version of the ecu?

@@TeeeTV are you asking about estimating boost requirements for a certain AFR? If so, then I generally use my estimated 473.6mg as a naturally aspirated air quantity at 1900-2000 rpm. So if you want for example an estimated 18:1 AFR with 60mg fuel at 2000 rpm I would put it at around 2280mBar absolute pressure. It is just a guide, but it worked well enough for me so far. Just a note though, torsion value of the engine will have a big impact on performance (breathing, fuelling, etc), I had -5 and my engine power was very irregular and sluggish, then I got it to +1 and out of nowhere there was a mountain of torque, slightly better fuel economy, turbo spooled better, etc.

Yeah I’ve started looking into durations now, I haven’t loaded one onto the van but trying to get my spreadsheet to behave how I expect, I’m actually on holiday right now so can’t get the numbers but I’ll send them over when I’m back on the 18th

Not sure I understand, the power to the laptop is just an extension lead from the house, I plug it in to make sure that my laptop doesn’t run out of charge while the map is being written as this could corrupt the Ecu

@@TeeeTV alright I didn't think about that 😅. Isn't it better to in gear pulls or from 30 to 70 instead of 0-60. It will be more consistent and convenient to test since it is all about drivability and no one is launching it on daily basis

Probably yes, with a proper logging equipment that would be ideal, however finding a 70mph road in west London that isn’t full of other cars can be challenging unless I want to film at 3am. I mainly was trying to find a way of recording my improvements from one map to the next and a free phone app seemed like the best option at the time, but it will only record 0-60 times… yeah it is what it is 😂

Thank you

@@TeeeTV how many kms do you have? And would you say there were many problems with the car? I am about to buy one.

I have 124,000 miles so about 200,000 kms, I haven’t had any unexpected problems, the van was very badly maintained before I bought it, so I have slowly been replacing old worn out parts: bushes, bearings, cam belt, aux belt, water pump, boost pipes and seals etc. but as for anything else it’s been no problem at all. The only real issue I’ve had is the EGR stopped working but then every transporter in the world seems to have issues with the EGR

​@@TeeeTV thank you so much, this is very helpful

Yes I have the BRR, it’s been an interesting thing to learn and humbled me about me knowledge of engines, but there are some very clever people making good videos out there showing you how and what to do and on top of that I’ve had some really informative comments on this video to help me improve the van further

@@TeeeTV great, will you do an update on what maps you changed (and what the benefit of it all was in the end) ? would love to see that

​​⁠that’s exactly what I plan to do :) I’d like to include some better 0-60 data and also maybe get it booked onto a dyno to get a power figure, but who knows! Got a lot going on right now so no promises it’ll happen soon but I’m going to keep plugging away at improving the map in my spare time, there still lots of other jobs that need doing on the van… especially body/paintwork

@@TeeeTV that would be neat! Looking forward to it :)

I wasn’t ever going to achieve perfect 0-60 times with an app that only refreshes at probably around 3 times a second, 3 of my runs ended in .95 which isn’t really believe able, a proper race box would be a much better way of measuring. I can accept that having consistency in the mph or kph target would have been a better representation of was more to show that I was actually making improvements to the performance of the van, I would like to get something more accurate for next time I log some times though

T5s are the best transporter ;) The tune is called 'You Don't Love Me' - Paisley Pink

Appreciate it!

Mate!! Love that! I want to blow away cars that I shouldn’t be once I’m done, mines a previous write off so was cheap! ( although still covered in dents and bad previous repairs which I will fix one day)

Why’s that?

Ouch! Well if I blow mine up it’s an excuse for some upgrades :)

to be fair! thats a VW thing even before your re-map one!

Wow! Yeah sounds like I’ve caught the same bug as you! All I can think about is making it faster now!

@@TeeeTV I think VW is easier than Mercedes. More Mods, more Information, larger community. Keep us updaed ;)

I think you’re right, but I’ve got a feeling with the new transporter being a ford that people are going to start migrating over to the vito.. I know I certainly am thinking that way should I decide to buy something newer

Yes, I think you may have misunderstood, the stages that are in my videos are just the stages that I was making my changes in, they have nothing to do with a stage 1 remap or stage 2 remap, I agree that it would be better to purchase a real map but that’s a bit boring, I can learn with this engine and I’m not too worried. I’m actually returning better mpg since making these changes too

About that yeah, nearly 20% more power and it cost me £12, can’t complain at all

Hi mate, I can’t quite remember but I think the 12v live came off the back of the head unit, there was a spare I believe (or I just spliced into it) as for the signal wire to tell the head unit that the van is in reverse I took that from the reverse light wire, hope that helps

Where was the lie?

Actually I always reverse onto my drive, the only reason I pulled on forwards in the video is because my extension lead from the house won’t reach the front of the van if I reverse

Totally agree! 1.9tdi by far the best, shame they mounted a 5 speed gearbox to the one in mine that can only handle the torque of a hamster wheel

@@TeeeTV you can switch it even to a 6 gear box. Its all use the same mount systeem to the engine.

Yes I know it’s just silly money to get a 6spd for a transporter block, actually cheaper to buy a used fabia vrs and take the engine and gearbox and put them in together

Ohhh yesss the VW life, just make sure you’ve got a bit of AC/DC on the radio to drown it out

I don’t luckily, my vans a bit too old to have one

ah ok, thanks for letting me know. I've got a 2008 2.5 BNZ, with EGR & DPF. I'm going to get one of those readers, read the ecu and start learning 🤣

Go for it! Looks like your Ecu is a edc16 too so all the hardware and software I used should work for you too, I’m not sure how you map out the DPF but I’m sure there are videos out there that show it

Thank you! Yeah it’s surprisingly difficult to find a video that goes over the whole process, I didn’t even think of that until now but I have searched before and not found anything. I actually found a website that would estimate my power figures and I used the weight that vw provide as a curb weight but the estimate hp/nm figures seemed way off so I just ignored them, once I’m happy that I’ve got a good feeling tube on it I might see if I can get a power run done on a dyno :)

@@TeeeTV Go for it mate! The world finally deserves to know how to do a poor man's remap and actually get more hrsprs! But how many? Think of all the lads and lasses tossing and turning around all night, not knowing just how much horsepower can you get with a DIY job.

​​⁠I have been and still am one of those lads and lasses staring the the ceiling at night thinking about rolling coal while doing a 2nd gear burnout off the popcorn limiter, but then I snap out of it realising I’ve got 2 kids and a dog and a wife that wouldn’t be amused if I did that at every traffic light 😂

If the question is what comes after an edc16 the answer is edc17 ( but write it backwards :))

​@@TeeeTV I already tried that but it will ot work, will give it another go, thanks

Have you done CDE17?

@@TeeeTV thanks,. all done, how do you download the file from the edc website to my laptop so that it is in the correct format to be downloaded into the ecu

@@sas8403 you need to upload the file from your vehicle to the website, then you can make your changes and save them and then download them back to your laptop so that it can be written to your vehicle. The website is just a way of reading the file instead of trying to learn a complicated software like winOLS

Yo this comment should be pinned, you gave some good advice! Also I would add this, I dont know about Diesel quality there what cetane it is, So for fun, try "Redline 85 diesel+" additive Boosts cetane and helps make like 3-5 HP on T5 2.0 TDI with 230k km

Wow! Thank you, I have been playing with WinOLS to try and get the hang of it but I’m still learning to read the map, I feel like once I have learnt that it will open up my options, but I am going to copy this comment and paste it into my spreadsheet and go through everything I can, again thank you! ❤️

@@TeeeTV In WinOLS you have much more options. You can find bins with mappack from 77kw 1.9 tdi on the internet and compare the maps with your bin. Both use EDC16U31and have very similar structure. Good luck

Thank you! Now I know how I’m spending the rest of my evening 😂

@@TeeeTV I hope the next video will be directly related to this comment. It's nice when creators and comments are related

Thank you! Really appreciate you and your comment ❤️

You are not wrong!! I 100% need a new one! Even a £100 dell would be an improvement, it had been sat on a shelf forgotten about until I needed xp on a laptop to read the ECU!

@@TeeeTV anything is better than Acer.. Personally I would go with lenovo or dell

I agree, I think I’ll be going dell, my work laptop is a dell and I’ve had it 4 years and it’s been pretty reliable

The dongle I used to plug into the OBD11 is called an MPPS V16, the software I used to read/write is called EDCsuite (it’s not too hard to find but needs to be run on win xp), the website I used to understand the map and change the data on is called edcmasterhp (when you sign up you get 3 months free map editing) and this is all for a edc16 Ecu, if you have an edc15 I believe all this will work too, but if you have a edc17 you’ll need different hardware/software

@@TeeeTV Awesome video, I could not imagine that the EDC gets told the "wishes" of the driver to manage the engine! I had always imagined about meaningless alphanumerical raw values written in the excel bloks. To me, mapping has been an obscure thing until your video. I can't find the EDCsuite for the edc16, I have found only the BCDsuite 1.3 that is for the edc15... where have you found the one for the edc16? About your van (BRR or BRS, I don't remember), it has the turbo integrated in the manifold which is made to give exctly a low output, if you want to reach like 135ps or more, I think you should swap your turbo with a turbo from the golf 1.9 130ps or smth like. Just my 2 cents...

@@conquino2217apologies!! The software for the MPPS V16 is not EDCsuite! It’s the MPPS V16 software, not easy to find, I found it on cartechnology.co.uk but it a right pain to get it all installed etc. the website edcmasterhp is what I used instead of edcsuite as I couldn’t find a download for edcsuite anywhere despite finding lots of people saying how good it is….

@@TeeeTV Thank you so much! (my laptop is almost native XP =D )

Yes I kept forgetting to set it to MPH to maintain consistency, but since I kept getting XX.95 I suspect the app can only refresh so quickly so getting proper accurate data is impossible, but at least it can record some sort of improvement, I might invest in a race box or similar before attempting more power runs
