Or you could fit a ferrari V12 engine? Maybe a jet turbine? The TD5 does wat it was designed to do.

well i reckon the jumpy (misfiring or fuel starvation sort of symptoms) are separate to the limp mode issue, i was sorta focusing on the first issue

Won't cause any problems like you describe. Blanking is same as when the EGR valve is closed.... i should have mentioned ive blanked the egr too
No it was done by Gary at TD5Alive.
Changing the exhaust won't cause limp mode operation. You could run with an open turbo outlet and the engine would see very little difference. It would however melt your heater box etc.
You need to get a boost gauge or you've got no way to see what the turbo is doing. They are cheap on eBay and once fitted give a good indication of how your turbo is working. Small adjustments on the wastegate actuator equals big changes in turbo boost. On mine a half turn was equal to just under 3psi. I took out the poxy clock in my dash and replaced it with the boost gauge. Looks factory fitted. Dont forget that there is always a pressure drop across the intercooler and piping which on my TD5 fitted with an intercooler the size of my radiator was equal to 3psi. That is the with the turbo boosting to 21psi at the turbo outlet the pressure at the inlet manifold is 18psi.
