My standard td is currently boosting to 12psi. I've got an intercooler d seal on order and next week I'm going to see a 'man that can' adjust the Lucas pump and Turbo do I get more power.
What I would like to know is how far should/could I have the boost turned up to?
Carlos standard at the mo and I want more power and torque but no extra smoke and still good MPG.
Advise and pointers please.
at least 20psi and maybe a little more depending on A. how big your balls are and B. how much mechanical sympathy you have . .
Well I need it to be as reliable as possible as its an everyday car for the family!

Could a leaky down pipe join cause boost leak? Visit not worth turning the boost up till the leak is sorted?

no, because downpipe is after turbo . .
Didn't know if back pressure would be effected

"affected" . . .yes it will be but we don't need back pressure . .
Not after the turbo anyway
Would the Lucas pump limit the amount of boost I can tun?
Depends how much boost you want, your only getting upto like 22 or something from a lucas

Im pretty sure you can get alot more than that on a lucas but may be wrong
