Wow, I should check my threads more often. Sorry PHIL, my engine is just your garden variety 2.5 TDI with AT.

Crazy... washers? Just my style :-) Btw, I think I'll put a boost gauge where my broken disco ball is.

Regarding "turbosmart", please pardon my ignorance, but could someone explain to me how this works mechanically? I promise I'll go read up on the subject but I can't resist asking. So I imagine this "wastegate" is a relief valve right? The relief valve has a setting at which it dumps pressure. The idea is to replace this valve with an adjustable one so more boost goes into your motor and not out of the wastegate. So does one remove the old wastegate and replace it? Because I saw someone talking about just "adding inline", which does not seem right just to "add" an additional relief valve.

Anyway ok, I will go read up a bit <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
