Is your box a plug in type or wire-in type ?

Have box fitted to mine. Had no problems what so ever with it. Pulls very well indeed. No clouds of black smoke or boost problems. I would double check you have it connected correctly. as far as i know the amount of boost is controlled by the wastegate, so if yours is overboosting maybe your wastegate is not opening correctly/sticking but you only notice it with the box on. Worth a look if nothing else

Omega General Help / Re: TD intake manifold cleaning
« on: 12 July 2010, 09:14:04 »
Did mine during the week. Was surprised how clean it was,just a light misting of oil. Had a bmw 325 tds (same engine) that had a layer of hard crud about 5mm think all around the inlet runners. I've had the egr blanked for a while which helps alot. I also found the manifold gaskets were missing due to a previous numpty owner. Does make a difference after a good clean out.

Thats good news, after finding the gaskets missing had visions of previous owner doing a vanishing act on the sensor. All done now anyway, no more oil mist blowing out of number 1.

Omega General Help / TD Inlet manifold
« on: 08 July 2010, 23:14:29 »
Decided to tackle the blowing inlet manifold tonight. On closer inspection it looked like a previous owner had been there before. One manifold bracket missing,the other only had one bolt in it. Once the manifold was off, all 6 gaskets were missing. Manifold was pretty clean inside just a slight misting of oil. One thing I noticed was a bolt where the Air temp sensor should be in the bottom of the manifold, should a 96 td have one ? . I can't find any spare plugs/cables for one.
