Sounds good I used to live in Bagot Rd ,
Anyway what condition is your intercooler in? oily on the outside?
if it is chances are its leaking, I ended up fitting a Tigged Intercooler
and found my EGTs were more stable and boost constant. I also have a larger scoop
My point being how can you adjust boost properly if its leaking out

[Darwingq3.0]

Wasn't in bad condition no oil on outside
Although did discover the top tank on radiator is leaking so might be time to fit a aftermarket one
Intercooler will be replaced in due corse
Where did your intercooler come from ?

[threedogs]

Just Throw some Flakes in your cooling system ,does no harm and stops leak in 2min flat.
Look in the Vendor section for Diesel Smart, I cant praise them enough Cheapest change over Intercoolers out there
Pressure tested to 60psi, 33% bigger and 5 yr warranty, all around $400 ,
Some are asking stupid amounts of money for intercoolers , These were the cheapest I could find, the workmanship is faultless BTW
Send them A PM I'm sure they are more than happy to sort you out.
I never have to worry about my IC for a while, One less thing

Late edit, Clean your MAF too ,spray is available from Jaycar or SCA, always handy to have

[Darwingq3.0]

Cleaned all the sensors while we were at it yesterday

[threedogs]

Set your boost to 10psi at 2000rpm and you should be crowing

[meh]

How did you find the car runs now with the needle/dawes fitted ?

[Darwingq3.0]

Havnt really driven it yet waiting for dyno tommorow

[Darwingq3.0]

Over 20 kw more yay

[threedogs]

WOW got to be happy with that an
extra 20 KW just by fitting a manual boost controller
Cant see but what are your torque figures?
Now fit a chip and a bigger exhaust you may hit the 150Kw mark
Looks like your power comes on quicker too. who's a happy camper now

[meh]

Thats great results!!
Looking forward to getting my car back and putting it on

[Winnie]

Now fit a chip and a bigger exhaust you may hit the 150Kw mark

Hell no. You can't seriously expect a 55kw gain from a chip and exhaust. Maybe 10-15,and that is a good increase! 100kw is very good power for a zd30

Zorst and chip are done TD, reading his earlier post . Thanks for letting us know the outcome of the dyno Darwingq and enjoy ! Top looking rig too.

[mudski]

Hmm. I might get my truck dyno'd just to see what it gets.

[Darwingq3.0]

Thanks it's a work in progress drawers are next to be fitted ( made by retired woodworker they are a work of art I tell you )
Then new intercooler and billet maf sensor housing
