Hi Chris my previous motor was a Disco D1 300TDI and I was interested in the "Boost Pin" so I did a bit of research and the only info I could find was on YouTube by people who seemed to me to have a vested interest in selling it, also they were not the original because the inventor of the boost pin is I think German or Swiss or something like that basically a guy who is one of Bosch's top flight engineers and has patented the boost pin and doesn't franchise it to anybody, so with that mind I discovered there are a lot of cheap copies made of inferior metals and different spec's.
I imagine his tinkering will already blow his engine up soon enough. Why spend more on a boost pin!Hi Chris my previous motor was a Disco D1 300TDI and I was interested in the "Boost Pin" so I did a bit of research and the only info I could find was on YouTube by people who seemed to me to have a vested interest in selling it, also they were not the original because the inventor of the boost pin is I think German or Swiss or something like that basically a guy who is one of Bosch's top flight engineers and has patented the boost pin and doesn't franchise it to anybody, so with that mind I discovered there are a lot of cheap copies made of inferior metals and different spec's.
I came to the conclusion that there wasn't enough evidence that the Boost Pin was a credible addition to my car and if I'm honest I think it's a wee bit suspicious so I didn't buy one, but if you feel having done adequate research that you are confident enough to fit one the only caution I would advise is that you buy the original not the cheap fake.
Anyway good luck
