Turbo experts,
I am just about to fit a turbo kit to my 1HZ Troopie, and decided to fit a pyrometer and a boost gauge for protection purposes... Now I would be really pleased if anyone can give me real life experience of what EGT (before turbine) and boost levels they have run for many many
miles without durability issues? I am reckoning that 700c max and half a bar is probably normal. The boost reading would be at the wastegate actuator pipe. Can hardly wait to get out the spanners!!!
thanks in advance,
Gil

Firstly- I am by no means an expert....
'Turbo Dynamics' (now Denco I think) system fitted 8 yrs ago.
No durability issues.
Checked (along with pump etc) every couple of years or so.
Regular oil/filter changes.
Silicon hoses replaces a couple of times.
EGT fitted after Turbo- so not relevant..
Max torque 400Nms (unturbo 277)
Max power (at rear wheels !!) 80HP (unturbo 51)
Grease up the spanners mate !!!
