7bar is like 101psi. don't run that much :p If you are shortening the wastegate actuator and not getting increased boost then you have a boost leak or faulty wastegate. More likely the boost leak.
:oops:0.7:oops:,thanks any idea where to look .
 
First an acknowledgement. All this information is out there, I just don't like the way it is presented. Here I will give you my thoughts and procedure for modifying, tuning and monitoring your 200tdi engine.

I know this was long-winded but I felt it needed to be covered in more detail and in a more logical order than had been done in other places. Feel free to disagree. I hope this helps you get the most enjoyment out of your truck.

Turning up the pre 94 Ram diesel injector pump

Hi Rick, as many have stated, even after 10 years this is the best information I have been able to find.

Now I'm trying to get the right VDO Singleviu gauges to work as you've instructed but having a hard time getting accurate information. Would you be able to help? I have called VDO, and other distributers but no one knows what you know.

It seems like a EGT with 1650*F is enough for temp, right?
And a 2bar enough for boost gauge?

Can you help if you know which SingleViu gauges I should buy?
EGT gauge-
Turbo Boost Gauge-
sender/probe best to work-

Thanks very much!
Mike
 
Oooh another contender for resurecting the oldest thread of the week award awarded weekly to the person that resurects the oldest thread on a week by week basis (April 2014) ...

Especially when the OP was last seen in April 2021 and this weeks winner is asking him questions only 6 minutes after joining the group....

lol... Sorry mate. I've had Rick's guide up on my browser for 3 months, and been trying to piece together the parts from my current forum group over at Defender Source without luck, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and jump in head first.

Considering our trucks are the same for the past 40 years... knowledge is timeless. I learn from old posts the most.

Cheers
