For towing / hauling max boost stock ECU 16-17psi may go higher but do as mudski mentioned, raise max boost as high as possible without limp. You can set max boost with needle closed (max spool)...

Yeah raise the boost as high as it will go before hitting limp mode. These motors will happily do 25psi. The turbo wont like going any further than that though.

Personally I don't consider yours to be overheating or at least only minor but it is hard to compare circumstances.

It is my experience that in the modern metals technology Rad Flushes do bugger...

I'd check the radiator for blockages and get a pressure check to confirm. Also confirm that the clutch fan operates. It also would be worth replacing the coolant, if it's not been done for a while....

In that case it could be a coolant system problem / blockage or a fan clutch.

IMO working an engine (CRD), solid hauling would be interesting what EGTs you are experiencing when hitting ECT 100-110 DegC?

I consider if you doing high EGT hauling at 80% plus load your engine...

With mine it depends a lot on how I drive when I'm towing - especially when the weather is hot. Going up hill my EGTs increase rapidly, and if I don't drop a gear to lower the EGTs, eventually my...

Pretty much exactly what mine used to do... Trailer was maybe a tad heavier at up to 1500 Kg... but similar air temps and terrain in WA would get me almost exactly the same temps on the Scangauge and...

Yeah think i was lucky with my conversion paid six and a half for silvertop with safari turbo & intercooler kit and all the stuff needed to go TB to TD, was a while ago now. They know what prices...

O.k The all the dawes valve is for is to take away the ECU's control of the boost limit. So say for instance, you set it to 15PSI, which is what most people set it too. The needle valve controls how...
