ALDA surprise...
ALDA surprise...
That's either the original plastic seal melted or some goo somebody stuck in there. I've never seen the blue thing, someone may have just stuck it there.
I'm ideologically opposed the ALDA removal, but others like it. You've got to tear that stuff off to make an adjustment. Get some wire cutters, grab a little piece of the metal can around the black stuff and tear it off. Underneath, you'll find the adjustment screw and lock nut.
For general ALDA tuning info, google around. It's a clever device that works well at stock boost levels with stock pumps.
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
If you do remove it, setup a boost gauge and EGT probe. Without the ALDA you lose overboost protection

I ran a $60 lab readout panel. Square, digital, and you could program an alarm limit that tripped a relay to do whatever

That right thurr: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIGITAL-EGT-THER...b6&vxp=mtr
There are similarly priced round digital gauges, so it's up to you and your preference

I suppose the round vents would come in hand with this right now, but I'm stuck with my awesomely hideous rectangle ones.. I'll see what I can work with them though.. still waiting on a hand primer to get my car started after doing a purge and filter swap this weekend.

As requested, kinda unrelated:

That's a very fancy setup you have there.
In other news my wife managed to break her leg and thus won't be driving my tdi, or anything else for that matter, for a few months. With that, I tore the interior out of the benz today to start the cleaning and refinish process. It should make finding a spot for my gauges a little easier with everything out of the car... still trying to get the passenger kick panel out though.

All the kick panels come out very easily, if it's not you missed a screw somewhere
