We have 2 options.
Adapt a VW PSG to the 335d. There are 5 variants, none of which will fit without some sort of adapter/modification.
Second option is to fit a pressure sensor to one of our plugs. Optrand makes a small affordable sensor that could be inserted into the body of a glow plug. I don't know the details of how either would be done, as I am in no position to make it happen.
Then there is instrumentation, which is pretty straight forward. Simple voltage signal, but need a very fast data logger. A PC oscilloscope would probably be most useful from a tuning perspective. I can take care of that part of the project.

We can start a new thread if others are interested in this. So far,I think it is just you and me.
