Does any of this do any damage to the turbo or anything else? Like when you remove the boost limiter switch?
[Note: Some time ago I saved this page off the VWQuebec Forum. The link now appears dead, but it is such a great DIY article I thought I'd cross-post it here. If you want to keep this info I suggest you save the page to your hard drive, just in case someone gets upset that it is here and asks that it be taken down. Anyway, I stripped out all the VWQuebec forum stuff and am posting just the pics and unedited text. If you have questions I suggest you open another thread. That way the experts can answer them and we don't lose the info if this thread has to come down. Stan]Preparation of the engine before increasing the fueling. 1. It is necessary to unscrew the screws #1 and #2 and to withdraw the limit-switch. (you probably have a cover over), You can use tie-rap and fix the switch elsewhere (but it must remain open)This modification makes it possible turbo to function full-time instead of compressing only when you ask for all the power.
