In two new threads (
1.9L VW/Audi/Skoda/SEAT Diesel Mod alert! and
Diesel mods and testing) there is quite a bit of discussion about how to put more air into the cylinders of a turbodiesel (better intake ducting) and whether or not this causes more fuel to be used.
Tampering with airflow meters, air pressure sensors, and variable turbine geometry is another way to "fool" the ECU into packing more air. So is this a good route to go down? Also, if I fool the ECU into thinking the (post-turbine) air pressure is lower than in reality, then will it change the turbine's geometry to compensate? Will the (pre-turbine) air flow meter's readings be used to confirm the air pressure sensors signal, so should that be tampered with, too?
