found this on the citroen website thanks to google -

 

"An overboost function integrated with the engine management system provides additional bursts of torque over a short period, for overtaking or in emergency situations."

 

apparently it gives an extra 20nm of torque. makes you wonder why they dont just leave it on constantly! its a diesel so surely fuel consumption isnt as much of an issue....

The VW SDi is an awful engine, we have a couple of Golf estates at work but I prefer taking out the Astra TDi's

 

The SDi is very slow and incredibly noisey which is weird because the GTDi's are superb, very responsive, smooth and refined (for a diesel) especialy the TD150.
