Title: I have adjusted the 1.6td pump, how do I turn the boost up?
Post by: xtrigger on October 06, 2009, 03:49:04 pm

I have increased the fuel screw, and the top screw ( I guess smoke screw) car moves alot better but smoky, im wondering what I need to do to increase the boost?

I know smoky black isnt good, as that means high EGT, Cant I combate that with more boost?

its an 86 1.6td

thanks

You should read the 1.6td Faster car thread in the FAQ. It will answer most of your questions. In the mean time, you will need to buy/make a boost controller in order to increase boost. And yes, adding more boost can clear up the smoke.

I read the entire FAQ, where do I took it up the MBC?

it just says to install one, doesnt say were...

I have a poppett type WG, So run the line from the WG to a MBC, block off the port on the turbo were the line used to go, then run the other side of the line to were the boost is seem on the intake... i just want to make sure IM right... like a standard gassser turbo setup


thanks

You could do that, or just cut the line going to the wastegate can and splice in the MBC.
