S the twin pipes to the turbo will slow the exhaust gases down which cause them to run out grunt when they get to the turbine.this is caused by the gases being able to expand which causes them to cool. this would stop the turbo from spooling up enough to make decent boost levels. So are you saying ...

Hi thanks for all your replies. What do you guys thinks a safe pre turbo EGT is on a silver top TD42. I thought that 700c was too hot. So if i summarise the turbo is a little bit too big for this motor (as i havent done any pump mods etc) I have since added more fuel, another 1/4 turn on top of the ...

do you think that the only reason that i can only get 10psi is that i have a restrictive j pipe and not enough diesel.

Hey have you sold the tyres yet?

I just did some testing. With my 31x10.5 mud tyres i get 11.5l per 100km, i just went to auckland 200km exactly with my mates 30x9.5 all terrains on and got 9l per 100km. the same journey that i did to get the 11.5l per 100.

I get around 450-500 per tank which is 60l, which is about 12-14l per 100 km auto with 31s. Thats mostly country driving. I think that it should be doing heaps better than that.

yeah it was about time, and i wanted to email tgaguy about his wagon he has for sale.
Yeah its not the best photo, its changed a bit since then too but the more the better
