No, diesels are fuel controlled, if you want more power get a tuning box on it.

Yes that's what happened on my mondeo tdci st I used to have when I put a tuning box on it, it had loads more power though and seemed to do no harm.

if them box's are set right you can get good gains with them! i hav heard of people putting a bleed valve on to up the boost to match the inceased fuel! wether its a good idea or not i dont know lol

DTUK are a client of mine and I can vouch for their systems. I retail them through the CarKandy Performance side of the business. Every diesel I have ever owned has run one of their systems, the Audi has one on now and the Golf is getting one on this week

Worth mentioning too that the BMW systems go to the boost sensor as well as the fuelling and adjust both
