Standard 300tdi intercooler

Tuning on a budget....
Tweak your pump - even running a standard intercooler you will get decent performance.
Check you turbo boost pressure (should be 14.7 - 15psi on a 300Tdi)
Remove the EGR if you have one fitted.
Check the lift pump is working correctly
Check the throttle cable is adjusted correctly (and you get full throttle)
Remove the CAT (if fitted) and fit a non-CAT down pipe
Remove the large centre silencer - and/or do away with the silly rear
Check the air filter is clean.
Bang some injector cleaner through the fuel system - I find the RedX HD

One thing I'll add to that list... which really can make a difference...
Check the valve clearances on your engine... I've seen loads of Tdi engines where there is so much wear in them, that a simple adjustment to the right clearances will make the engine run more smoothly and with more power before you even start faffing around 'upgrading' things. ;-)

Someone suggested to me to chop out the centre box and fit a cherry bomb in there...

Why???
Just fit a piece of exhaust tubing... no need to faff around with a silencer... and straight exhaust pipe is cheaper!!! :wink:
