How can I have a little more boost (power), (0.6 --> 0.8 bar or something) without putting something new on the engine?? I've heard you can, but dont know how. :oooh:

get hold of a bleed valve and turn the boost up urself...they arent expensive..or u can get another 0.8bar actuator and see if that does it

Just turn the actuator up to about 9psi.

sorry, its maybe a stupid question but what is exactly the actuator? Is that that plastic thing with 2 tubes near the airfilter? Or is it that iron thing at the bottom near the turbo?

He Tomm, ik heb ook geprobeerd om de druk iets op te schroeven maar het werkte niet echt, maar met een bleedvalve moet het echt wel lukken, zo duur zijn ze niet ongeveer
F 65,00 (Nederlandse guldens) Wel de moeite waard denk ik !!!

Groeten Thijs!
