Hey CrossCountry
I used http://www.chaz.yellowfoot.org/Manua...Controller.htm
I had a mate help me today...He has done his own Patrol.... Its not really hard to do once your pointed in the right direction.... Make sure you block your EGR too... My EGT are running 100 degrees cooler now as well. I sourced my parts from the websites listed in the link above and purchased my EGR block from Ebay.... Purchased 10 metres of silicon hose from ebay too...
Rochjas,
what sort of changes did it make to your Patrol
I have got Pyro and Boost gauges in a pillar pod. I have done the single Dawes setup.... Also had a snorkel installed. Next up Hopefully in a few weeks, I'll be doing the provent catch can install. Looking at getting a Diesel Smart intercooler upgrade soon... Other then that she is stock standard (for now)

Rochjas,
Did you get more power out of the patrol? Is the single Dawes all that is needed rather than the dual one?
CrossCountry,
Not more power just more predicable boost. The Dawes and Need valve take the control of the turbo away from the ECU. By doing the dawes install you are making the turbo behave like the old school turbo diesels... More linear delivery of boost... ECU controlled turbo boost is unpredictable.

You will be happy with the results, if your IC is oily chances are its leaking. I found by doing NADS,,
temps etc are more even, fuel consumption improved as well.
Highly recommend the Diesel smart IC just on value alone,
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Hey 3dogs...
Can you PM the cost of the DS intercooler.... Do they do specials for forum members ??

They are forum sponsors look them up in the Vendor section
They have one of the cheaper IC's going around 33% bigger,
pressure tested to 60 psi not 30 psi like some, plus a 5 year warranty.
I only knew of them through this forum, and when you see what some are charging for an IC
you'll find Diesel Smart good value, they do a change over, as I said highly recommend
