All, When I had an 02 TDI I was told the turbo produced more boost than the engine was set up for at sea level. This allowed full power to 5000 feet where the boost no longer had to bled off. Also told the 944 turbo Porsche was set up the same way. Anyone know is this is true and if it's true for the TD engines? Mike |
