Nah mate I'm at work and will not get to play around until next weekend unfortunately.
Finally some good news.
Just took off actuator arm and its definitely sitting 1mm too forward.
It was ever so slightly keeping it open or opening as soon as any level of pressure came in.
I'm going to borrow my brothers oxy and get it about 3 to 4mm back so there's enough preload.
More bad news is the highmount will not fit where the ic currently sits.
This is a monster, but...
I have a few options on that...
Take off thermo and bonnet support, push it back further or I'm going to double check but it may just fit under where it is currently but need to check it properly.
If anyone can confirm exact measurement if they have a highmount on a gq arb deluxe bar then let us know as that would be a mammoth help!!!
The Himount is 220mm deep front to back AB.
Yeah I know I was more interested in how it sat and how high it protruded up from the top plate and the height of the curve at the top and a few other things...lolQuote:

It's going to be damn close to sit actually under the ic.
Real close looking at my highmount and if someone had one installed on a gq arb deluxe to confirm exactly how it sits I could get away with not doing anything.
I can move it back to the aircon but to get that to work I need to relocate the pipe for aircon that runs up the left hand side which is annoying.
From the middle of the top mounting hole on your bar tot the top of the winch is 218mm. The radius of the upper housing is 110mmQuote:

You should be ale to get everything you need from that diagram.
Ill have to double check in the light thanks mate...fingers crossed!!!
I think it's just going to hit doing rough measurements. Ill double check on the weekend.Quote:

In theory would one expect higher egts if they had a boost leak or the wastegate was slightly open all the time?
Less air, less boost, making it run more rich?
Not comparing my non ic to ic just a question in general...
If the lever on the wastegate arm was correct and holding correct boost then one should expect lower egts then if it was half open surely?
Looks good Andy. Sounds like you have been having fun.

If boost was down then yes as you say it will be richer and slightly higher egts. But you could run no boost in your setup and egts should fine.Quote:

That would be interesting actually!Quote:

No. He has purchased a cheapo gauge but I dont believe he has fitted it. If he sees this it would be cool if he could and post some results.Quote:

Finally!!
Boost back up to normal, feeling more power then previous, egts have dropped, it's all coming together, thank bloody god!
I'm done gents and one happy camper!
Getting this tuned properly and it will be a weapon for now until i can upgrade later on!!
That's great news Andy! Can't wait to see it
When you get it tuned ask them to put some timing into it.Quote:

I know a very good custom bloke close to home who is a well known for his welding.
I'm tempted to modify my deluxe arb bar to accommodate the highmount tapered higher so I don't loose any approach angle and keep my thermo and not move the ac piping.
Because Newby said soQuote:

Also for what it's worth...
I actually moved the rod back 5mm not 3-4.
That setting was spot on, exactly as previously set.
Nice one...... So ave you fitted the grill yet?
Yeah...lolQuote:

The ic is black, the piping is black and I am going to spray the grille black to try and create a lack of depth in the ridiculous amount of objects that will be protruding from the grille...lol
Pics or it didn't happen. ..
Quoting my own posts here...lolQuote:

Considering I pushed an extra mm or two in the recommendation I was told.
Good to hear Andy bet you are happy it is done.

Good work, took a fair bit of perseverance but sounds like it came up well in the end.
Thinking I might start farting round with my high mount this weekend if you want to compare it to your set up with the'"IC".
Sounds good mate, ill give you a buzz...Quote:
