Aww no fun in that.

I remember the old 306 1.9 td engine. So easy to tune! From 90bhp to 110 was easy on them, just a few adjustment.

To be honest on most older diesel it was easy to up the fueling but could lead to them being smoky.

The TDI is direct mechanical injection but is electronically controlled.  (common rail like PD engines have electronic injectors)

Sadly the only way to get decent power is a remap,  however a remap does make an impressive diffrence!

You might be able to fiddle with the boost controller but i find if you bleed air off it will throw up a control diffrence fault and go into limp mode on the dual carriage way,  unplugging the boost valve will put it into a constant limp mode.

10 golfs and counting!
