more power 1.6td (UPPING THE BOOST)

Stan, go ahead and plug the outlet hose for the BOV. I found a 1" long section of broom handle jammed inside and clamped works great. I think you'll be suprised at how high the boost goes.  Then you'll be really wanting a good boost controller.  I've made my own, and it's worked great for 6 months now, and is totally adjustable. I'll make a detailed post on how to do it for those interested, soon.
I repair, maintain and modify VW's and BMW's.
Good work done at affordable rates. Welding and fabricating, too.

I plugged the BOV (per the Bentley procedure) and did another test run, but am still making a maximum of 12 psi boost at full "throttle" in 3rd gear. Could the BOV be releasing the air somewhere other than out that tube?

:) VW Racer as long as you plugged the BOV off , 12.5-13 psi is all that k24 is going to give you with NO pump mods (more fuel).It also only takes a small increase in fuel to get higher boost with the non wastegated setup.

Thanks for the info, Andy. I thought there might be something wrong with my engine.

I need to open up the exhaust and do some more research before trying to add fuel. In fact, I really don't know how to add fuel. My Bentley's identifies the rod that sets max RPM (5050-5150), but doesn't get into tuning it.

I think there was a link recently to a page where someone identifies the major go-fast parts of the pump, but that pump looks quite different to mine... :?

In any case, I will be sending it to Giles after I pull the engine. :idea:
