Thanks v8, is anyone driving without the turbo heatshield on
Quick question, is it ok to cut the cable to length that came with my vdo pyro probe? So not the ones on the probe but the length of cable that joins to it. If that makes sense. Thanks guys
Not familiar with the vdo gauge, but I wouldn't as it may be calibrated to that length. Curl it up and hide it somewhere would be my advice.
Lemo.
Ok so I've had my egr blocked, Dawes and needle valve, pyro and boost gauge in for a while now. I had it set up so max boost was at about 18psi but spool up was a bit slow, I think I was getting about 5-6psi at 100ks. So I've been trying to get it to about 10 psi at 100ks but to do so I've had to back off max boost because of hitting limp mode. I've got it to 16psi max boost and sitting at about 8-9psi at 100ks. Now when the engine is cold, even after about 10 mins, I've been getting limp mode again. I'm getting limp mode even at about 12psi until it fully warms up. I could understand if I was putting the boot in to it but I'm only taking it easy (not even keeping up with the traffic in front of me). Once it warms up it is fine. Ive heard of cold limp mode before on here, but I'm not sure what to do, I'm thinking of backing the needle valve off more but then I'll only be getting low boost at 100ks. Any suggestions would be much appreciated? Thanks in advace
What's your maf like? Had a clean lately? Your mid range boost is a tad low too. You need to wind in the needle a little to raise the mid range boost.
Has the VNT actuator adjuster been fiddled with ? It may need to be ..just my 2cents.
Cheers mudski, no I Havnt cleaned it in a while I'll give that a go, ps I want to grab a catch can off you soon (no rush as funds are tight) and I'll drop your dump pipe off at the same time as I didn't end up using it. Thanks mate
Cheers for your 2 cents boots, I did take the solenoid off the top of the turbo when I was struggling to get the heat shield off ( I now no I didn't need to), but im 99% sure that I got it all back in the exact spot it was in. I didn't touch the grub screw. If cleaning the maf doesn't work do you think I should make actuator screw longer or shorter?Quote:

Your a brave man touching the actuator arm. You eff this up and it will make things worse. Just come over to my place, I have a good 2nd hand MAF here you can try if you like.Quote:

Ok nads are all done, thanks for everyones help. Onto the next mod. Lol. I can get a 2nd hand Nissan winch bar, first question what are they worth? 2nd question, will it fit the runva 11xp? And are they a good bar?
Can't help you with the $$ but the factory nissan steel winch bars were all made by ARB so they are decent. The Runva 11xp fits in nicely to the bar, I just installed mine last week before the trip and I know a few other guys here have got them as well. I've got a bit of a write up in my build thred for the winch install if you go down that trackQuote:

hey paule was it just your maff that was causing the issues?
im just about to start this process and getting my head around all the issues that can arise
No I ended up setting max boost (Dawes) to 14 psi and just kept tweaking my needle valve so it wasn't spooling up so fastQuote:
