It will self compensate for a mild increase in boost- upto a
point.
The only way to increase boost is with a boost controller, or more
elementary a bleed valve type. This wont help a tired actuator,
which should be replaced first.
I would try for 1.0, perhaps 1.1 bar, and see how it goes. Any
more, and you will need a chip to help with the fuelling too.
I assume your MAF and injectors and engine innards are now in rude
health??
Tim..
Well, I am at the moment just collecting parts and info as it is
slightly possible that I
will be changing the car for a later model, or even going down to
one car as wife
doesn't drive anymore.... but I need a work car as well as a "nice"
car, so may
still happen yet..
However, I like "fiddling" and I like this car, so not sure...
I found a brand spanking new MAF unit, the injectors are still about
to be done
( now definitely do need doing as I am sure seals have gone on
one/some as I get
a bit of diesel smoke on start up after rest so I assume they are
leaking fuel into
the cylinders when stopped) new brake discs and pads all round just
fitted,
and generally the car is good ....
Years ago I bought an adjustable turbo boost controller for another
car and
never fitted it, but essentially it is an adjustable pressure valve
which goes between
the inlet manifold and the waste gate - at the allotted pressure (
say 1.1 bar)
the valve opens and activates the waste gate, so both controlling
the max boost
but also preventing partial opening as you near the pressure - not
sure if the
waste gate on these is directly operated by manifold pressure or via
a pressure
sensor / switch and a solenoid, but I guess it could still be used.
So, over the break I might get to do these things
Thanks again,
Nick
