BKD PD140 Boost pressure maximum?

Postby AGChiptun » Thu Oct 30, 2025 12:21 am

Hello all, BKD 2.0TDI PD140 On a new stock size turbo with billet wheel what boost request are people running?

I am running a decat exhaust.

I have 1.5bar peak tapering, wondering if I can hold it for longer & peak higher?

Can I request 1.5bar until the limiter?


Thanks!

these turbos are quiet reliable and can be pushed hard sometimes but in my opinion it s not worth to try pulling 1.5 bar till limiter on that turbo ! just try to taper it off toward the rev limiter of the engine,you can also make small changes and do logs to see how the EGT's and everything is ! best of luck !

bkd in the original, the pressure drops a lot at higher revs, I certainly wouldn't put 1.5 bar at 4 000 rpm
