First time diesel owner questions?

[freponyryd]

How many lbs of boost does the TDI run stock? and how many lbs can you go up and still be in a safe range? And can you just add a manual boost controler to get more or is it more intensive? I know thwere are different tuners for the ecu for more power, but with just adding more boost are they necessary?

Thanks,

Ok, maybe I asked too much to start with. How many lbs of boost is a stock 2.0 cr TDI running?

Boost is controled by the ECU, VNT turbo, I think it runs around 22-26 max stock. If you want more power, look at a tune, I don't think it changes boost (thats a lot of boost for such a small turbo), but it does change fueling wich is what you need anyways.

you can have Eleventybillion PSI but with out fuel you're SOL.
