200 TDI Boost Ring

If (like me) you've never heard of one, please google it. I did not want to provide a direct link as I can only find one supplier and I don't want to appear to be plugging them.

Has anyone installed one of these and do they work? Seems a bit pricey for a spacer but if it makes an appreciable difference, it might be worth it.
I installed a boost pin years ago and tweaked the boost pressure up to 1 bar. That made a real difference to acceleration and pulling power.

There was a recent post on here and going by the replies no one has fitted one yet.
Just tried to search for it but no go, Im sure it had a crap title like has anyone fitted one of these? but no mention of what they were on about in the thread title.

The general concensus was that it should work, but make sure yo engine was in tip top nick first.

I think there is only one supplier.

£40 notes for it.

Cheers

Not if it ain't my company. I think there is a couple, but they^^^ are promoting like mad on every fb forum at the mo.

Interesting. My engine pulls strongly and I drive it fairly hard but I do avoid revving high.
If this only benefits the upper rev band, I'm unlikely to benefit from it too much.
I'm running a discovery transfer box so any additional poke is always beneficial but on the other hand, I don't really want to blow my engine up

I've been looking at these and wondering if there any good there's also a bloke on facebook doing them with new seals from chester he's advertising fitting centers aswell am I allowed to say his name on here he isn't anything to do with me ? Don't want to get in trouble .
cheers Ian

Go for it

Ok its Stegs Supplies but he's selling them for 55 quid with genuine bosch seals , my stepson showed it to me there's a few people's reviews on there saying they've improved the performance.

Ive seen a lot of positive things about these boost ring, everyone is raving about them . Im considering one myself

In conjunction with a boost pin.

Presumably you inform the insurance company if you install either a boost pin or boost ring?

Of course, or change the intercooler for a bigger one..............tweak the wastegate actuator or a remap on your td5......Decat the exhaust...de-egr....fit different wheels..etc etc etc..

I would bet 50p theres isnt an insurance assessor in the land who could tell if a tdi is tweaked in any way shape or form, lets be honest they are as flat as a week old turd on the motorway on a good day.

I'll bet you're always in Ladbrokes, living life on the edge!
Mine's not as flat as it was, but hoping for a bit more improvement. Not expecting fast, obviously
