• 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.
