This has been great advice thanks Manic.
I am a bit baffled why I didnt come across this manual v auto distinction before...seems your thinking re the difference between auto and manual re the IP tweaking is almost your own.
I have done what you suggested and have rotated the fuel screw now a total of 180 degrees from where it was. EGTs are still quite ok.
There is a stop sign at an intersection that I go through on my way to work and it is half way down a hill so you cant see if a car is coming over the rise til the last second so I need to accelerate to get up to speed to avoid being an obstruction. There is a bridge maybe 500 metres away and before I was able to get to about 80-85 by then - now if I really booted it I could be doing 100. On top of that, the general drivability at 100-110 is significantly better. Smoke not an issue - I think I could go a little further on the fuel screw -my aftermarket intercooler is finally being utilised properly I think.
I have a new hybrid turbo and an exhaust manifold I bought last year - not much incentive now to bother fitting it. Might get to it one day.
(on the topic of great advice - I also came across the idea of putting the aircon on when on steep offroad descents as a way to improve engine braking ( which is otherwise not great in the auto tdi D1). This works so well, dont know why, but it really improves things quite signifiantly...this is a great forum).
I will have to try out the AC button on hill descent, great idea.
Good to hear you have got the results you are after. If you do fit the hybrid turbo and up the boost there will probably be a few more adjustments to be made to the star wheel and boost pin. Keep an eye on my vnt+++ thread. Im not done tweaking just yet.
