Hi
Thanks for message, Yes does smoke a bit. The car's going so well at present I don't want to mess things up ( which I'm quite capable of doing) by fitting a Bosch pump, although this is on the cards for near future. Car I only means of transport and we do. 220m iles per week commute.
Car build was sort of copy of James Pickerings 200 bhp 306td in Prac Perform Car mag and TDOCUK some yrs ago. Except for Bosch pump and money he threw at bottom end.By the way,Rally Design do some great universal intercoolers for around £120.
Now weather's getting cooler might turn up boost to 22 -23lbs.(I blew head gasket of last 306 but didn't know much about diesels then)
I run fmic now plus lots of cold air ducted from bonnet vents round engine etc) Temp usually around 85.
