Hi everyone,

I've got a turbo plus kit out of a '87ish 745T that I'm probably going to install in my '91 745T tomorrow. My Vo mechanic has a '90 745T at his shop with Turbo + installed that I can use for installation comparison. Something I was wondering about: Say my wastegate rod is set to allow my turbo to boost to 9 or 10 psi instead of the stock 8 psi, when I install Turbo + would this mean that it would allow my turbo to boost higher then 12 psi because the wastegate rod is not at factory spec? I want to install Turbo + in my Vo for the extra oooph it can provide at high RPM, but I don't want to push my 290K km (~181K mi) TD04 too hard. I'm not worried about the engine as it has had only 30K km since its rebuild and is in good tune. Will my boost stay basically the same as it is now under ~3500 RPM and/or not at full throttle? I was hoping that it would act normally unless I demanded more by flooring the accelerator. Thanks in advance for any responses!
