Got a boost controller on my 300tdi wanting to plumb my boost gauge in now but not sure if I should t into either side of the controller pipes or if there’s a better place , the gauge is also very laggy this could be due to the cheap price of it

Never heard of a boost controller for a 300 tdi

Or I am missing the point ?

You can fit a boost controller to any TC car.

It's a small bleed-off valve that fits in the pressure line and allows you to set the pressure which activates the wastegate.

Not sure about them.
I think it would be far to easy to set the boost to be damagingly high.

Well I disconnected the standard one on my 300 tdi years ago and get a whopping 1 bar of boost vs the 0.9 to 1.1 bar the manual says is safe
