My 2.1 has an 11mm pump and a TD04, and I've still got the wastegate on and fully functioning, if you want to run dewastegated then all you have to do is take the pipe off the actuator, however you'll probably blow it open because most second hand TD04's the actuator springs are on there way out (at least mine is) so I run a boost controller and run 20-21psi and thats fine by me....
I will be getting some guages in there soon to monitor things...
Also something I feel that is over looked on these (1.9 or 2.1) is good oil....
I use Fuchs Titan Pro S 10w-50 as I don't run an oil cooler at present and will probably go back to a 5w-40 when I do
If you're not running an oil cooler then I would recommend going for a thicker oil like an ester synthetic 10w-50 so it remains stable when it gets hot.... if you run an oil cooler then a 5w-40 or 10W-40 will probably be fine
