Hi, Now I read alot about the boost pin all over this forum, and alot of other diesel forums.
Some people reccomend it, like it's a must have, others disagree, alot of different opinions.
But does anyone really have a proof that it works? I won't take out and hunt one down unless It's really worth it.
Sorry if it's been up before, but I need some clarification

Hehe cool then I'll trust that. But is it a standard part on 1.6td's or is it a rare part to find

you can also grind the 1.9 one, or buy the part from a bosch supplier.
(don't know the reference)

I have 2 custom ground pins, running one of them now.
1st one is ground for a very aggressive fuel delivery and the 2nd is ground for low fuel delivery for the first 3/4 of the ramp then a bit more aggressive than the 1st pin so while putting around I an drive with less smoke but at higher RPM's I can get more fuel if I want.
Currently running the 2nd pin and I still have to much smoke putting around, my k24 doesn't build boost till 3000 rpm at this elevation.
I need a tiny turbo for around town and the k24 for high rpms, a VNT25 would be SAWEEEETTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

danm, I just grinded my stock pin down a bit, not that much but a little so it got some more aggressive looks.. WOOOHAA suddenly there was no more car, but a beast.. Smokes now, didnt before, and it actualy moves.. It can move!?!?!
Danm, I want a 1.6td pin now, it's sure to be better than the little grind I did myself, my concerns now concentrates around the engine itself.. Can it take it? I'm driving 0.9 bar tops now.. 0.7 before

Just make sure you get an EGT gauge before you go to far. You can actually grind 4 different flat profiles in a 1.9 pin, and just turn it to the one you want.

The OEM boost pin for a 1.9 TD has about 1 mm of recess ground into it. I ground mine at 2 mm and made a noticable increase in power without too much smoke. Than I ground an extra mm (3mm total) and the cars behind me tended to ''dissapear''
. I'll go back to 3 mm when I get my intercooler installed but for now, not having an pyrometer and not willing to melt anything, I'll stick to 2mm :oops: . For the record, my max fuel screw is at +1 turn and everything else accordingly, K14 turbo and 2.5'' straight exhaust
