Hi All, a couple of interesting things happened over the last few days, firstly I upped the boost on my LN130 form 13 to 16PSI and apart from a little more power (very little) I noticed my MAX EGT had gone from 670DEG- 520DEG Celsius, while this was all good and well I was thinking about turning up the fuel to get a bit more power..

Anyways, while trial fitting my water to air intercooler I noticed that my Air intake system needed to be moved so I put my 3" Pod filter directly on the front of the turbo (with adapter to fit). This evening I took it for a trip to fuel up and i sort of thought, "shit this thing is going really well" it was then I looked at the EGT gauge and it was struggling to get over 400DEG and it maxed at 420. It has quite a bit more power!

Now im eagerly anticipating getting the intercooler plumbed up!!

you will know if its needs more fuel by looking at the exaust under full load in like 4th gear should be a light haze of black out the exaust if it clear az wind the fuel up

I can tell by the lack of EGT it needs more fuel!!, i Might just wait till I get the Intercooler sorted...

Anyone Know where i can get about 2.5M of ~17mm I.D. (11/16) hose for my water to air intercooler?
