AlexTRea Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 was at college today, doing a motorsport course. and we were talking about pistons and that, and how diesels use turbos and how they work. any way, how much boost (psi) is the lupo TDI putting out standard, and what would happen if i adjusted the boost on the turbo, how much power gains would you be looking at? just curious, any help would be delightful, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Adjustment on them i think can only be done via the map , i could be wrong though . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hmmm, yeah i think the ECU controls the escape valve, just curious at if it would make any difference, also scotty , you have any idea how to fit coilovers?

Defcon5 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Ask Awesome Al, see how muc Awesome adjust the Boost/fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 Yep easy, best bet is to go to euro, gsf etc and get some more top mounts ,20-30 quid spent now means no mucking about with spring clamps etc later . So much more easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99hjhm Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 If you have had it mapped they are sure to have upped the boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penry Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 (edited) You can do it on ibizas by adjusting the two locking nuts on the actuator up or down a few threads. However then the turbo's requested and actual boost values are all over the place, and people end up crying with blown turbos. No idea on the anatomy of the lupo's tdi one though so that information might be completely redundant EDIT: fast typing fail Edited September 28, 2010 by penry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexTRea Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Yeah i had a feeling since it had been mapped it had already been adjusted, as you said if i fiddle with it again i will most likely over heat the turbo and engine. cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeAl Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I wouldn't recommend fiddling with the actuator as they don't quite work in the same way on the TDI PD engines as they do on the 20v Turbos. Plus adding extra boost without extra fuel could potentially lose you power (Incorrect mixtures and all) and as the boost has already been amended on the remap, you could potentially be putting the turbo under more strain than it is built to take which will either A.) Kill it, B.) Cause it to run hot, increasing the intake temperatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
