Right so I have watched the videos on how to "stage 1 tune" the DT (increasing fuel and adjusting turbo) and it looks pretty straight forward.... but no-one seems to really write any kind of review on the pro's and cons of it...?
So, what I want to know is are there any problems people have run into from doing it?
Are the power gains from doing it really noticeable and worth the effort?
Does it kill the fuel economy under normal driving, or does it remain roughly the same?
The videos i've seen say to not boost over 18psi... is this accurate? And my boost guage is showing approx 17psi already but the car isnt that fast...? So I'm thinking either innacurate cheap guage or maybe someone has fiddled with the turbo and not the fuel? As there isnt really any smoke when you gun it...?
As I am using the car daily I don't want it to blow up so not looking for massive gains or whatever, just enough to get me past slow moving traffic....
