IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The New Dimensions, Inc.‘s Stage I and Stage II turbocharger kits are designed for installation on 1985—1987 model—year Volkswagen Golf GTI and Jefita GLI vehicles. The Stage I and Stage II turbocharger kits both consist of a Warner—IsHI‘RHBB turbocharger with an area ratio of 0.59, boost gauge, exhaust manifold, exhaust muffler system and miscellaneous fittings. In addition, the Stage II turbocharger kit also includes an intercooler, fuel injector and micro—fueler. The purpose $f the Ngw Diménsions, Inc.‘s Stage I and Stage II turbochargers is to increase the power output of the engine by compressing the intake charge to above atmospheric pressure, thereby, increase the volumetric efficiency of the engine.b The increased pressure cause; a greater charge density, allowing more air into the chamber for combustion. Sincg the air flow is increased, more fuel is needed to mainta;n proper air—fuel ratios. The New Dimensions, Inc. Stage II turbocharger includes an additional fuel injector to ‘provide additional fuel needed during boost. The additional fuel injector is mounted in the throttle—body inlet casting and is controlled by the micro— fueler.. Lubrication of the turbocharger is provided by engine oil. The lubricating oil is then routed back to the'engine oil pan through én oil drain line. No emission control components are removed during turbocharger kit installation. v. TURBOCHARGER KIT SYSTEM EVALUATION AND DISCUSSION A 1986 Volkswagen Jetta GLI vehicle equipped with a 1.8 liter fuel injected gasoline engine was used for the evaluation of the Stage I and Stage II turbocharger kits. The dynamometer inertia weight and loading were 2625—lbs and 7.0—hp respectively. —2—

<p Emission tests conducted by Milton Roy Company for New Dimensions, Inc. consisted of one Cold—Start CVS—75 emission test in the the modified (Stage II turbocharger kit installed) configuration. Confirmatory tests were conducted at the ARB‘s Haagen—Smit Laboratory,. A summary of the test results is shown below: Exhaust Emissions Test Results On A 1986 Volkswagen Jetta GLI (Milton Roy Company) Test Exhaust Emissions (gm/mi) Mode THC > co Nox Device .291 > 2,.291 .523 Standard «41 _ 17.0 +7 Exhaust Emissions Test Results On A 1986 Volkswagen Jetta GLI {ARB‘s Haagen—Smit Laboratory) Test Exhaust Emissions (gm/mi)br Mode NMHC co NOx Device ~0 .379 2.983 . .567 Standard .41 7.0 .7 Results from the emission tests conducted at Milton Roy Laboratory and the confirmatory tests conducted at Haagen—Smit Laboratory show the vehicle emissions with the New Dimensions, Inc.‘s Stage II turbocharger kit installed were within the applicéble emission standards. Based on the test results, the staff concludes that the installation of New Dimensions, Inc.‘s turbocharger kits did not have an aéverse effect on exhaust emissions of the affectad vehicles. New Dimensiofis, Inc. submitted all the required information and fulfilled the requirements for exemption.
