Went away for the long weekend down to Croppies point, in the Nth/East of the state.Great range of
camping spots here, most right on
the beach.There are drop
toilets scattered around the place too.Fish wernt biting though(as usual for me)
This was the first trip towing our
Tambo Cooper since fitting the I/C DTS Turbo and all I can say is what differance.It is simply a differant vehicle to drive.Hills we used to crawl over in second, we creasted in 4th.Fuel consumption seems about the same at 14lt/100.Boost is set at 10psi and EGT's maxed at 499deg C post turbo(big long steep
hill).Normal driving saw 290-330deg C.

Great to here. Did DTS give you a before and after dyno? Also have you altered your exhaust at all? Sounds like you've got all you need now.

Hey Nick,
It sounds like the turbo was a great investment. I have just had the turbo fitted to my 100 without the I/C which I will be getting very soon. Glad to see your figures and looking forward to our first big trip with new camper in Feb, happy travels mate.
