    Forget the blow-off valve. They won't work on a diesel because there's no throttle valve to close and cause a pressure spike in the manifold.

    If you want blow-off valve noises, I think you bought the wrong vehicle...

    joke alright! only no one was laughing

    tee into the waste gate hose for the boost gauge its the easiest way. and for upping the boost, unless you get a boost compensation box and and upgraded ECU and mods, then you wont be able to up it to much. 1-2psi depending.

    cheers phil
