tuning a turbo diesel

[james]

if I get a turbo diesel as a run about, can I just up the boost like I would on a petrol car with a dawes device or similar?

306 TD's can be tuned quite well AFAIK have a search here http://www.peugeot-gti.net/forums

urmmm i think you can but only a small amount as diesels work on compression....

if your getting a diesel shitter then dont do anything to it! you cant polish a turd!! lol! just relish the MPG for work etc.. it will always be slow!! i drive a 106 DIEsel to work :dermal: DERMAL!! but i know the 32 is sitting at home :smitten: so its ok

lol, yeah. I'm looking at a 2.5td Ford Scorpio Ultima 216lb.ft standard, ugly as sin, but very well specced and super cheap cos for some reason noone wants them...... oh yeah, it's cos they're ugly Can still pick up a very tidy one for under a grand. Did I say they were ugly?

Torque Developments do a plug in box for them - I think the website is www.tdi-plc.co.uk

Gary at APT would be able to give you loads of advice.

cheers guys, I'm not after making it super rapid, just wondering if I can make a noticeable difference for the cost of a £40 dawes device

Yup, up the boose. Ninjasx on the SXOC took me for a spin in his when he upped the boost to around 20psi, it just flies!
