Paule starting NADS

[Paule]

OK so I've ordered a quick fit boost adapter and vdo pyro and boost kit. 30 psi and 900 c gauges. I want to get the clamp setup for the probe but don't no which one will fit the vdo probe? I'm a fitter by trade and am thinking I can make one out of a hose clamp, is there much to them? As I've only seen em online. I think the autron one looks good but is a bit overpriced for a clamp, and I don't no if it will fit the vdo probe. Has any one else used a clamp set up on the vdo pyro and if so were did you get the clamp from?
Thanks guys for your help in advance

What do you mean by clamp .?
Pyro wiil need a thread to suit probe welded in after the turbo about 75-100mm

You can get what looks like a hose clamp with a nut and feral attached to it. So you don't have weld the female thread onto your dump pipe. You drill a hole the size of your probe into your dump pipe, then clamp probe into position. Welding is the best way to go but I want to upgrade exhaust in the not to distant future once I have the funds.

The other question is where did people get there pillar pods, and are they happy with em? Ive heard alot of mixed reviews on em, as in quality and fit. I want to get a double pod one and want to get a good 1 first time.

Just weld a probe in mate. Its not a big job and then its done properly.

I got my pillar pod off eBay the seller is 4x4concepts I found it was a great fit.
I have too used the clamp method for the pyro gauge. I will end up welding a bung in when I upgrade to a 3 inch.

Thanks oddkid the pillar pod looks ace, love the idea of the switches there.

I know we all talk about NADS, but at times I wonder if NADS should also include the Glow plug timer issues, particularly for the DZ30 Di engines.
Passing thought here.

What is the glow plug timer issue?

The glow plugs actually still stay on for five minutes (I think it is) after the car has been started. This can cause the ceramic tips on the glow plugs to drop off in the cylinders. The gpt mod lets you control how long they are on for.
