Title: Mk3 TDI boost control?
Post by: Ecksphive on September 10, 2007, 05:29:44 pm: Just curious if anyone knows how the boost is controlled on a 1999 Mk3 Jetta TDI. Is it controlled by the ecu? Any help is appreciated.

And yeah, its my first post, but Im over on TDIClub.net and the CVD forums :D

'99 mk3? They stopped making mk3s in '98 :?

Best way is to chip the ECU. Rocketchip, Alligator, etc :)

Post by: snakemaster on November 07, 2007, 01:34:27 pm: rister mod it tells the ecu that the fuel is cooler than it is so the ecu moves the spool further = more power, i will have a play with the wast gate and blead of valve :lol:
