Not being able to use full power in lockup kinda sucks with my stock tc/47rh. Works fine otherwise. It really depends on how well you are set up to pull a trans, shop tools etc, and weather or not you'd be dreading to pull it back out again if it effs up. Mine also has upgraded clutches, kickdown lever, billet servos...don't know how much power a bone stock 47re can take, or if you can restrain yourself from abusing it with the fuel screw lol.

Yeah, my setup made 50psi of boost, I could watch the The body twist, and I want to change a few things to make even more power, so even though this one isn’t totally stock it’s not likely to live long. This is going to get expensive.

Finally picking up an o-ring and throttle shaft bushing, and 366 spring tomorrow for the w250. Now I can fix the pesky idle issue the shortened stock gov spring is giving me. It wants to idle at 500 or 1200ish rpm depending on whether the fuel screw is 4 turns from runaway or 3-3/4 turns from runaway. Should be able to turn up the fuel screw till it makes 38 psi instead of 32 and enjoy some more rpms and fix the main fuel leak. Losing a drop or two a min from the lp, about a drop a second from the shaft seal lol. So mileage should improve as well. :shock:

Picked up the parts, $58 with tax, not too terrible bad I guess. Had to phone 5 places before I found one that knew what a 366 spring for a ve was, AND had some in stock. Every other place had to look it up, or go talk to their pump guy, put me on hold for 10 mins, then tell me they'd have to order it in. Who calls themselves a diesel performance shop and doesn't know what a gov spring is, or have the #1 ve performance part in stock? :lol:

But I'm sick of driving it so I've finally bought a new steering box for my W350. I won't miss the 14mpg of the Toyota, especially since diesel is cheaper here than regular gasoline now.

A 2.8 cummins crate motor would be right at home in that thing.

Got the throttle shaft fuel leak fixed and the 366 spring installed, and turned the pump up about 1/4 turn from where the throttle starts to hang. Should be close to 50 psi boost, but only getting 39-40. Going to change the 6-7 yr old fs1221 for a fresh one, and if that doesn't get me more fuel then I'll try drilling the banjo bolts. Pretty sure the lp is pretty much toast, I may just bypass it for now and let it suck it's own fuel till I can get a replacement. That'd be one less fuel leak lol. Either way I 'm going to turn the pump back down some after I play with it a bit.

I wouldn't bypass the LP. A weak pump is better than no pump at all.
I drilled my banjo bolts, it has to help some.

I got rid of all my bango bolts, and I only actually have one bend in my whole fuel system.

I’m also back to having two roadworthy vehicles now that I’ve fixed my car. Going to be nice to go back to fourtysomething mpg opposed to the 16ish jaeger gets.

Yeah, 3.0 V6 and 5 speed manual. Unbelievably slow, too. Oh well, my steering box showed up today so hopefully I'll have it installed either this weekend or next and then I'll get to enjoy my W350 again.

I pulled a banjo bolt today and remembered I already drilled them out years ago lol. I'm just going to leave it alone and drive it nice, being my one running vehicle. Gave it a wash and rotated the tires.

That’s certainly not fun when you get down to one running/roadworthy vehicle.

Just a curiosity for other vw owners. Do all of them run so much negative camber in the back? The rear inners are so much worse than any part of all the tires.

It’s not the fat ones Pete. It’s the myriad of thin ones.
