Default Re: smart ForTwo CDI 800 cc turbo diesel

Good to know, thanks and I appreciate your patience.

Next questions: there is always a price to pay with the extra performance. Apart from the obvious effect additional torque and hp would have on the drivetrain, is there any downside to the system?

The windshield washer fluid container on the car is 3 litres. The fuel tank is 22 litres. What kind of boost trigger levels do you think I should set it to if I only want to be filling both tanks at the same time? I'm guessing 10 PSI. I understand it will require some playing around to get right.

The good news is that my mechanic doesn't think post-intercooler installation would be a challenge as much as running the feed from the windshield washer reservoir from the nose to the engine. He has worked with injection systems nominally like yours on gas powered turbo engines about 20 years ago.
