Hi guys.
New member from Norway here.
I have a 405 GTX which came with a 1.9 TD engine when I bought it. Due to a broken HG it was cheap, but I never managed to fix it, so I suspect it was a crack somewhere in the block, as it kept building air pressure in the coolant system even after the head skim and a couple of attempts with new headgaskets.
Bought a 605 2.1 TD and took the complete engine and put into the 405.
The engine came with a mechanical Bosch dieselpump as standard.
So this is hos it looks:

I've had it for a few years already, but have just fixed a boost leak in the IC piping and had it MOT'ed. I've wound up the diesel pump a bit and it's boosting 1.5-1.6 bars. I have a turbo adjustment valve on it, but I suspect it has failed though as I tried to wind the boost down without luck.
However that said, what power should be possible with this setup?
I believe my problem is that I have no clue how to adjust the injection timing to suit the fuelling, and if 1.5-1.6bars is a safe boost level for the standard turbo?
Thanks in advance for any input!
Regards
Kristian
