[@RobBread1]

great looking rig. Good power on it too. I've been following this build from the beginning.

[@billhickman4826]

I love how open the engine bay is. It makes it nice to work on things.

[@fastinradfordable]

You think twice if you had replaced the vacuum pump or coolant flange.

[@notahacker2107]

I want to tdi swap a wrangler so bad, love your videos man! Saw them because I’m in the tdi truck group on Facebook. Lol

[@TheKajunkat]

One of the things you can do to test vacuum line leaks is to pinch them off one by one with a set of pliers. If you reading goes up a lot you know you are on the right line. keep testing different branches until you narrow it down. No good for manifold leaks of course. Also a good way to find heat damaged lines, pinch, snap! oops haha

[@ThisOldYota]

Snazzy front end there dude. My 92 and my 08 are into that truck!

[@cazsomething9433]

its a vw we always got problems lol =) im a tech diaged a 2012 ford explored the other day same issue vacuum on the booster was -20 but every time i would depress the peddle it it went to -7 and then build pressure back up mine was a bad booster. glad yours was a easy fix though.

[@Diesel_burner]

Make sure that n75 atm line has a filter on the end or it'll fail again. I just grabbed a inline fuel filter from the parts store for mine. Can't remember if you added a nipple to your intake or not like the oem setup had.

[@austinniemela]

Colton J no nipple, I will throw a filter on it👍

[@andrewlewis4253]

I keep a spare N75 in each of my VE cars. They do like to fail in unexpected ways at random times. As others have said, the N75 will die a quick death if the vent line is not plumbed to a filtered environment. I use a short run of vac hose and a lawn mower inline gas filter. This method allows snappy boost to 30psi and never overshoots.

[@BCRyot]

Glad to see this was an easy fix for the vacuum problem

[@rubioo93]

Yeah those n75 valves are a headache in a half, I've had 3 tdis and those valves all went bad on me

[@tjhupp7519]

When I did mine the only thing I didn't cheap out on was vacuum line. Bought braided 5mm line from IDparts.

[@cmac956]

It's always nice when every thing works the way it is sapose to work. good job.

[@jonathan5354]

Awesome video again. I suggest for a small project that you could do custom gage cluster designs. get the red line correct and give it a more modern look and make all gages one color at night.

[@arvindriddick]

Man that eye candy in the beginning with that sweet track. U got some mad editing skills. Good sense of humor too, that HMM?!? got me good. And I admire the way you care for your rig. Similar to me how I care for mine. Most people find it absurd that I spend so much time on my rig. So I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one. Great job as always.

[@austinniemela]

Arvind Paragsingh ahh yeah man! Thank you!!

[@coreymoroso3064]

Been here from the start of this build, it looks dope! When are you going to do a colab video with your pea headed brother?

[@alexvandenover917]

What an awesome truck! Excellent work!

[@brandonrobishaw7606]

The leak is most likely on the injectors return hose the 4" ones right at the injectors. Had this problem with mine

[@keredrellit3992]

I'm so jealous of your TDI conversion! Would love to do that to mine.

[@markderksen7452]

Good to see it rolls coal!😁

[@forestharvey7511]

Idk if anyone has said this but when you take stuff apart your so gentle its like your holding a baby

[@austinniemela]

Forest Harvey it is my baby lol

[@yymmyyyymmyy2630]

She is clean mate, great job!!

[@alignarchitect-constructio7577]

So awesome truck. How i wish I could build similar to yours

[@spinnerbruce5538]

Sounds so good!

[@otylerhd4984]

nice33, real ogs like before watching

[@datboired832]

Badass i have a 94 pickup 3.0. Damn head has a leak! Love this build!! What type of mirrors are those from?

[@austinniemela]

datboired832 the mirrors are from a 4runner

[@xzibito187]

Im not a fan of the threaded hose clamps, they would constantly rattle loose on my truck and cause problems, the crimp style are a better option.

[@fastinradfordable]

Gotta buy “blue band clamps” They will last the life of The application.

[@JeffGoDawgs]

Very nice truck 👍🏻

[@kevinz763]

Next thing I'd check is probably a check valve in the fuel pickup in tank letting it drain back I believe at the pump in tank or least the pickup has a check valve to make fuel only go out of tank

[@timothywalker9398]

do the cat fuel filter mod on that truck. filters down to 2 microns and will look great as well takes a ford adapter

[@dezfan]

Looks fantastic, hope you get all those small bugs worked out soon. 👍🏼

[@monicashley1]

With Ceramic coat you can blow off most of the water after the wash with a leaf blower. That way you don’t wipe down the vehicle as much. 👍🏼

[@high_lyfe8546]

Looks tough bro

[@Gosinyanglee]

Nice truck man. I would love to buy your truck.

[@shivabholasing4102]

Great looking love it. I like the red color. I would like to know the color code can u please help me?

[@austinniemela]

Factory toyota 3H4

[@Nick-Gotrel]

are there leak off pipes from the injectors back to the fuel pump? I had a similar problem and it was the leak off pipes introducing air into the system.

[@austinniemela]

Yes those are new and don't seem to be leaking

[@shawnlathrop852]

I think a new set of gauge faces need to be done to change the redline on the tach. Just one of those small finishing touches only car guys will notice.

[@Gniggaaa]

I want that truck so bad 😄

[@rosswheatley1577]

Well done sir.

[@topazeac6306]

whats your MPG now with all the stuff that you did to your engine

[@austinniemela]

I have not checked mpg yet!

[@markderksen7452]

You may have to do a smoke test to find your vacuum leak!

[@fastinradfordable]

Put a fuel filter from a Mk2 1.6d fuel filter from 1990-1992 Bolts right in. Same fittings. Just has no thermostatic T Have an mTDI, never had a single Problem.

[@ravismaximus7972]

Holding vacuum and producing it after its used Electric works

[@TheRandomDead]

3:36 what are you using for a ratchet

[@oliboivin]

What is the product you spray on the truck when you dry it?

[@austinniemela]

oliboivin just a spray wax

[@imz_8-103]

Vilen dank fur gut video!!!

[@Jesus-hx5vg]

Lol at 5:04

[@chasesettlemire312]

Where are you from cause I wanna see this beast in person

[@tjhupp7519]

Bad n75 could have attributed to the "excessive black smoke" as the tdi page called it.

[@austinniemela]

Tj Hupp yes smokes much less now!

[@thomasmurphy5906]

Way better ☮️

[@pig_ironfilms9838]

Time for Interior

[@axmedwarsame4009]

## Dude, I'm watching you I have a car like this Hilux 3l model 1990 ..🙂🙂👏##

[@petertsv8634]

I put in an older year filter that doesn’t even have the T

[@MussaKZN]

Way to clean THEN WASHED IT! Toorak Tractor! Ya won’t get it!!!

[@austinniemela]

Gotta get the bugs off before they don't come off!

[@JoseReyes-lp6ok]

🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦🇵🇦👍👍👍👍👍

[@nickchadwick9497]

The fuel leak back is from your injectors!!!

[@user-io8bu7zs7w]

💪 💪 💪 👍 👍 👍 🇷🇺

[@smplyizzy]

I am not any environmentalists but that thing smokes too much for me.

[@gregh7457]

its his tune because i have the same motor in my bug and it doesn't smoke at all. I don't particularly like tunes that put out black smoke either because it seems like a waste to dump all that unburnt fuel. I had a tuner delete the smog equip on my bmw diesel but i didn't have him touch the fuel maps and it only puts out a few puffs of a dark gray smoke when i get on it.

[@smplyizzy]

greg h - ya he is so close but it seems to be running really rich I bet he figures it out.

[@fastinradfordable]

Probably has to do with his turbo boost issues.

[@ThisOldYota]

You did not just drive for ten minutes and then go home and wash it 🤦‍♂️

[@Paul-kb3ge]

Sorry to say but ist a VW...
