10 Cent Tuning, the same as...?

Hello

A friend of mine recently bought an A3 TDI. According to the previous owner, the fuel injection pump was removed and the potentiometer was adjusted.
Now, in effect, it's the same as 10 cent tuning? It doesn't rust strongly, has an original 90 hp engine, and now, according to the dyno, has 118 hp.

Now what exactly was messed up (potentiometer) ??

Perhaps you could also assist us.
Best regards!

Hi

"If there is a pump with HDK sensor, then such an increase would not be possible without a flashing indicator light and/or severe jerking in the partial load range --> Technical article on RWG."

I don't know how the older type of power connectors (round instead of oval, 7-pin connectors) work.

Nun die Vorglühlampe blinkt eben nicht. Leichtes ruckel nur im unteren Bereich bei ca 1000-1500 U/min ( kaum spürbar man muß es wissen dann fällt es gering auf ).

Hi

97er haben AFAIK auf jeden Fall die HDK-Pumpe.

118 PS glaube ich nicht. Da wird wohl die Messung gewaltig dazugelogen haben, und vermutlich war der Motor schon ab Werk recht kräftig.

Z.B. von 98 auf bestenfalls 110 PS, OK . . .
