Finally a broken 4.2 TD story...

Chri

I was Trol'ing thru your list of goodies and note that you have a 'Turbo boost adjustor'. What type is it? I have been looking at several options for this mainly to reduce wastegate creep rather than increase boost. A little bit more boost obviously helps but it sits bang on 10 psi as standard presently.

Basic boost controllers are simple manual bleed which reduce the pressure at the wastegate actuator. Some have a pressure relief valve which means the wastegate actuator has no pressure until it opens. I was looking at a combination of PRV with a self bleeding regulator. What effect did you see from fitting your device in relation to the other work you have done?

While I am asking questions have you dne anything with the butterfly gizmo after the intercooler? I was considering ditching this once I get further into the engine upgrade swing. I blanked the vacuum hose to the emision stuff which means it does not work, along with the EGR, anyway so I might as well get rid of the restriction. Mind you removing the weight of all the emisission gear could only help the consumption as well.

Will be interested in you latest dyno figures when you get them done.
