just joined the patrol club
hi all, just got my first patrol. A 2013 y61 wagon. it pulls like a train and am really impressed so far. i have read many things about the benefits of the dawes valves and am working out a wish list. First is EGT and boost guages to determine before and after instalation values .. then the valve (valves?) ... and also the catchcan. Now, i’ve jst got back from the UK after 12 years and am well and truly out of the loop as far as suppliers and shops go ... so where is a good retailer to do my needed shopping that is in the Bunbury/Perth region of W.A.?
Any and all info would be great

Cheers mate its good to be back. I just ordered a catch can from Western filters and a Dawes valve and injector valve from 3 bar racing .. looking at gauges as we speak. Have seen a gauge kit from Gauge Shop australia for a pair of VDO boost and pyro gauges .... until i can get a fitting welded onto the dump pipe i cant fit it. Dunno who would do it form me locally

Ive just gone down the same path you are heading. The best thing I did was the Beaudesert exhaust system. The difference these mods have made to my truck is amazing. Oh, and also the EGR block kit from deisel smart.

yeah i saw the upgarde guides and the exhaust is on the wishlist .... dont know if there is a stockist over here so may have to settle for a 3 inch system from another supplier. at the moment i want to install the bost gauge catch can first to stop any further contamination. i need to decide on a set of gauges and a mounting point then get at least the boost gauge working. to fit a egt probe i will either have to get the existing dump pipe fitted with a threaded union or get a new exhaust fitted ... then once i can measure values i can fit the dawes/needle valves. loads to do ..

That’s what I did. Put the gauges in first. At first I thought the boost gauge was faulty by the way it jumped up and down. But after the mods the boost gauge is virtually linear with the engine revs/load. I haven’t worked it out yet but it seems to be using lots less fuel.

The Beaudesert exhaust came with one already in place. I specified the size when I ordered it.
