I have also heard the na cam is a little more lift. I was thinking it felt like full power was done by 4k rpms. I am familiar with all the VE pump mods and have already tweaked the pump. I have had a few 12v dodge diesels and 1.6 diesels as well. Non of them reved like this thing does though. I hooked a boost gauge up to it tonight, and am pushing 22lbs by 5k rpms. Its at 15 and climbing by 4 grand. All I have is the dump valve plugged off. I'm guessing the waste gate must not be working. I have read most guys that plug off the valve get about 12 or 13lbs. My Jetta with the 1.6TD was the same way. It must be blowing nothing bot hot air though, as you really don't feel much difference from 10lbs at 3k rpms up to the 20 by 5k. In my jetta, when I turned the boost up to 17lbs from the 10 to 12 it was running, the difference was night and day. Even at 20lbs, its still smoking and I haven't even removed the fuel screw stop collar yet! I suppose it could just be over running the waste gate and it just cant bleed off enough to keep the boost under control... Who knows. I gotta get my water meth hooked up and I guess I'll open the dump valve up in the mean time before I blow the head!
