Well guys, looking to squeeze a bit more go out of the Passat without going to too much expense or hassle. Can I turn the boost up ? I already have a Westward tuning box and according to Martin should be looking at 140 - 145 brake which aint bad and comes in handy for overtaking. Would just like a bit more boost now.

the only way to increase boost etc is through a remapp.

What BHP was the car to start with Mark?

110. Its the non PD engine. I thought you could maybe adjust the boost somehow through the actuator.

Get rid of the tuning box (cheap and nasty)
Get a set of upgraded nozzles from http://www.kermatdi.com/
then get a custom remap for the injectors. far better job

Leave the actuator alone or you are asking for trouble

If you could your car would just keep going into limp mode as it wouldnt be matching the requested boost from the ECU.
