Title: Diesel Fuelling- turning it up!
Post by jon_viola on Dec 20^th, 2009, 12:40pm

Does anyone know how to do this? I've fitted my new turbo and it's much much better but still runs out of puff on motorway hills- I know the previous owner put a replacement engine in my car i guess he set it up for a faulty turbo unit and it could def use more top end from say 2500rpm up. Before that power is great!

Yep, down to about halfway its fine then very little more go, it almost feels slower on the motorway when you put your foot on the floor like fuel starvation- hence the question...

I think i may have found it on the fuel pump after some internet research, turned it up a little yesterday and already round town feels a bit better- going to find a duel carriageway today to see if i'm right!

sounds like a blocked fuel filter...

Check for air leaks in the ducting between the turbo and the engine - sounds like your problem is very similar to one a mate at work had - he was going to get a new turbo but then found a split in the ducting ;) Sorted it.
