Hello,

Assuming your engine is not EDC, and has the mechanical Bosch fuel pump, here is a link to a PDF that goes through performance tuning in great detail.

Easy to do, but make sure you have a Pyrometer/EGT gauge.

The next stop is the bank is only true if you are not carefull and do large jumps between settings. (Quarter and Half turns only)
I had the same problem with a sluggish 300 Tdi and broke the bank by installing the V-TDi Turbo with excellent results above 1200 revs and boost of 1,1 bar BUT took the good advice to install an EGT monitor system and boost guage and only then started to play around with low revs (750- 1100) boost by setting the Diafram, Star wheel, smoke screw and maks fuel supply.
I am still not 100% where I want to be but there is a Huge improvement.
Remember a 300 TDi can do just so much and if you want good low rev responce you will have high EGT on top revs.
Sluggiish on low revs and the EGT would seldom rise over 720 deg C
