Blimey Riley, this CANNOT be legal! Just been for a post-adjustment run and, well, not been this chuffed with myself since I discovered the joys of sniffing Evostick. Have to admit, being somewhat long in the tooth, I was a little sceptical of some of the claims being made on this thread but, no, you were all pretty much right. I did it the lazy way (all at once); 1.5 turns on the torux, 1 on the star wheel and 120 degrees on the diaphragm. Slight smoke on max chat, but nothing untoward, BUT a most definite increase in oomph, especially at the top end. Should at this point say I'm running a 1996 300tdi Defender 90 hardtop, manual, 105K. Owned it from new and always had it properly and regularly serviced. For what it is, I thought it went pretty well beforehand. The adjustments made no discernable difference on initial pick-up, but once the turbo was on full song it pretty much flew! In the interest of science(!), I did a before and after run, uphill, between 2 fixed points, through the gears from standstill. Prior to adjustment the run took 27 secs, after 23 secs. Also, beforehand, she was more or less maxed out at 70 to 75mph - I've just had her pushing 90 on a slight uphill gradient! From an old bus with the aerodynamic qualities of a (large) shed! Amazing. There has to be some payoff for this extra urge, either in fuel consumption or wear and tear. I'll monitor and keep you posted. Thanks V8, and all who've corroborated his work.
