Hey guys new to the forum and fairly new to patrols.
Ive recently installed my new hpd top mount inter cooler to replace the standard one, in the process i deleted the egr and cleaned out the intake manifold and installed boost/egr guages. It already had a 3” exhaust.
First question:
Peak boost is about 13psi with no boost controller or anything. Is that normal for a standard td42ti with my set up?
Second question:
EGTs creep up to 450-500 when on the highway going uphill/headwind etc. what can i do to help this?
Does she just need a good tune and the pump wound up a bit?
Any input is appreciated,
Cheers 🤙🏻

I thought they were closer to 10psi stock. If you wind the fuel pump up you'll get higher egt's.

Head over to introductions and chuck up a quick post and those with the technical know how will be by soon to help out.
