Orite lads,
What kind of boost are you lot generating through the gears with a de-wastegated, T2 bosch?
I'm hitting about 24 ish psi in 1st,
26psi in 2nd,
and about 28psi in 3rd using veg oil (+1/2 peak psi with diesel).
Not had a chance to check peak in 5th as i've only just tweaked about more today but previous peak was 28psi in 5th. Would prefer the wastegate on, but i broke the fkin plastic diaphragm nipple... so i can't obviously overfuel to get a constant boost level through the gears.

other way round mate, 9mm are not as bad as people make out to be, its the turbo that holds it back to a decent power

I have a mint k14 from a Xantia lying around, but i'm certain the downpipe looks a different angle to a 306 one?? Any ideas?
And the fitment of the t2 downpipe looks different (the part that attatches to the exhaust housing) so i can't just swap it over. Freezing cold garage it is lads =((
Tbf though, i have been commuting for hours without a working heater matrix so i'm getting used to it which is just not right!!?
Hah, yeaaah i know - created epic heatsoak when pressing on. Still, Dturb 1 - Insignia 0 =D (even though it was for all of 30 secs with the new tweaked settings =p)

I payed £10 for a 150w ceramic heater off ebay, it's utter SHIIT! Does jack all. Might cave in and actually rip the dash out. Getting ridiculously cold now man.

If you want more revs on veggie oil then I would think that a 10mm head plus bigger delievery valves and bigger nozzles would help.
