start with learning the vehicle...

coincidentally, the TDI thread I just browsed through spoke of 2000 rpm driving...where does that leave the oil pump?

questions like this...
start with your vehicle.
learn oil system,
intake heated, not heated, downdraft, injection, low pressure fuel, high pressure, boosted, natural..gear ratios...gas/diesel...
max torque..

I mention this all the time... I am in an opposite world on alot of things with a 3 main boxer. no roof rack delete for me.. big tires welcome, heavy hubs in the rear for brakes, etc. The heavier I seem to be gaining, the better than ever it is. 9to1 compression helps that fact...
add that to stuff to know about your car.. high compression or lower (<9.2 to 1)?
