Hi all
I had a water and oil temp and a turbo boost gauge installed on my td5.

Just wondering what the acceptable temp readings should be. Also what boost figures do I need to keep an eye on. At present if I give it stick the boost gets up to 19.
Normal driving between 15 & 17 max.

Thanks
Mick

Boost cut is just over 19psi so your just under boost cut.

Running temp should be 82 degrees minimum as thats the opening temp of the termostate but there are a couple of different themostates. How hot you want to let it go is up to you but I have my alarm set at 95 degrees. Thats very conservative but I very very rarely hit that.

Happy Days.
