Re: Diesel turbo compressor surge/"bark"
the other thing is to check your pre turbo intake restriction. to much vacuum in front of the turbo when at full noise. not only do you have boost trying to push back through the turbo, you have vacuum trying to suck the air back through as well. so once you lift the pedal and the drive to the turbo...

Re: 2lte or 5l manual injector pump wanted.
i would be inclined to run the 5le pump and tweak the fueling. theres a crude way of adjusting the pump, or chip it.
unless your planning massive fueling it should be fine with the bonus that the timing will be a whole better than what you can do with a mech pump.

Re: Power steering problems
not sure with your vehicle but check the pulley isn't slipping.
a lot of crank pulleys are dampeners and fail causing lack of drive to the belts, especially when you load it up with power steering.

thats exactly what you do not want. you want the wheels to follow the contour but not the body.
most trailers had such little suspension travel that they just pound the crap out of your load.

yer good call, it just sticks in the flow approx. 4/5mm.

Re: Recommendations on boost controller&waste gate
not much point having a fancy turbo if your fueling can't make use of the air.
so it depends a lot on what fueling you have.

Re: Recommendations on boost controller&waste gate
wiring a wastegate shut is not a good idea.
over rev a turbo and it will not last long. running the turbo past its efficient range is just a waste of fuel and power. plus the increase exhaust back pressure hurts the engine.
