Did you install a multi-factor authentication (MFA)?
I want to build a digital LADA there. I don't have an MFA, so there should be enough space! And in terms of appearance and readability, I think it would be ideal there!

Hello,
I'll try a rough estimate.
The increase in temperature of the intake air (before the intercooler) reflects the amount of work that the turbocharger has performed.
According to a description from the industrial TDI AFD, the air between the turbocharger and the engine's lubrication system is approximately 130°C hot at a pressure of 0.9 bar.
Assuming an intake air temperature of 20°C and an air mass flow rate of 320 kg/h at 3400 rpm, these 320 kg per hour, or 89 grams per second, are heated by approximately 90°C.
According to an ancient table, the specific heat capacity of air is 0.84 J / (g x K).
According to this, 89 grams of air require approximately 75 joules to heat up by 1°C; therefore, 6750 joules are needed to heat it to 90°C.
All of this, happening every second, results in a "heating power" of almost 6.75 kW for the AFD charger.
Extrapolating for the 81 kW TDIs with 4000 rpm and slightly more air mass due to the increased boost pressure, the "heat output of the turbocharger" is approximately 8.5 kW, which is equivalent to 11.6 horsepower.
With a charger efficiency of 75%, approximately 15.5 horsepower is required as input power.
Now, the question is whether the increase in temperature of the intake air during the warm-up phase already reflects all of the power delivered by the charger, or whether the compression process also needs to be taken into account (I suspect not).
and whether my considerations are even correct  . Gruß Ulf

You're so lucky!
I have plenty of space for it. I already have all the parts lying around at home. I just need to find a quiet moment to solder everything together and install it. I think it's possible to do it neatly and achieve a clean solution! The sampling frequency of the LCD module is approximately 3 measurements per second. This should provide a fairly accurate display of the boost pressure for monitoring overshoots.
To measure the boost pressure, I will use a second pressure sensor to measure the atmospheric pressure and connect it to the LCD via a differential amplifier and a voltage divider. Let's see how and when it will work!

Hi Jörg,
You can tell it's the work of a digital artist  .
A mechanical LDA would be much simpler to implement – perhaps not as perfectly designed, but statistically more reliable and easier to read.
But digital is, in principle, better because it's digital. Or have I misunderstood something  ? Gruß Ulf

hi ulf,
You're basically right about the 'digitalist' approach. However, unfortunately, none of the mechanical options fit the 'design.' A simpler, more straightforward solution would be easier to implement and more understandable! But it wouldn't really fit in with the car's overall aesthetic!
'You know, if I ever have the time and money again, I'm going to build my own onboard computer. Maybe even based on a Pocket PC. But that's just a dream for the future!'

Look at this.
The Golf 4 / Bora has two DIN slots in the center console. There are plenty of such bezels available for purchase, for example, at Conrad, etc. If not, you can easily make something like that yourself. Of course, how inconspicuous it is is another matter.
Just a quick note about Ulf's LoFi.
I had already guessed the meaning of the term "LoFi".
The main switch confused me.  To be honest, I'm not entirely clear on its function.  My radio has an on/off switch. (It's located on the left side. [/quote])

I'm wondering if this only refers to the charger itself, or to ALL related components, such as the vacuum pump, without which the VTG adjustment wouldn't be possible. Should such "power consumers" also be included?

Hi Thomas,
Theoretically, you're right, but in practice, the naturally aspirated engine will consume only a negligible amount more power than the turbocharged one.
Even if it were constantly "drawing air," the meager cross-sectional areas of the control hoses would not allow for a significant airflow, which would be necessary for optimal performance.
 Gruß Ulf

. . . but when the animation plays, it seems that the structural integrity of the bodywork is not exactly in the best condition - rather, it's more like a rubber box  .
@ Bertil:
Or did you record that while your 1xx AXR-PS models were straining at full power against the chassis? Then that would be understandable...  Gruß Ulf
