I think he's referring to. Where did you get that scoop? As I'm keen to know aswell. Something i need to do before summer hits. That and a thermo fan for it.
Been thinking of a thermo fan, asked the question here before and most were of the opinion
not really worth it. MUDSKI I'll PM where to get the scoop not far from you.
A fair bit of work has gone into these scoops, they are designed by a Turbo freak.
The internal vanes direct air to the front of the IC, where as an OE scoop all air goes to the rear of IC.
Meaning this IC will work at a lower speed possibly around the 60kph mark, where an OE
does nothing till 80KPH.
bullbars redirect the air, ever seen a moth or similar go into the IC ??????
This same person, turns your vacuum turbo into a pressure system there for eliminating
Dawes and needle valve, boost and EGT guage still required
Psst pm me too pls :)
I'd be interested in where to get that scoop as well.
Thanks Mudski, I get most of what you've written but whats Dependable disty's in Adelaide, and do you have a website or something to check out your Dawes Valves for sale, thanks heaps for your advice., Also is there somewhere on the forum that shows from A-Z the fitting of all these things? The post from Snicko is pretty good, just wondering if there were any others? Thanks again
Sorry. Dependable Distributors they are called. Disty for short. The Dawes valve I do sell myself but I have ran out. I sold 10 in 9 days, quicker than i thought. Five on Ebay and five through word of mouth. I have more coming but it wont be for atleast a week or two I reckon. I am dearer than getting it from the states but when I had them, you would get it much quicker that waiting for it to come from the US. I'm in the process of a fully adjustable Dawes type valve which has a screw cap on it to adjust it, rather than using two spanners...
Which fittings are you referring too? The fittings for the Catch can? Or everything? What model Troll do you have aswell? I'm happy to help you out where I can.
Food for thought, the gauge I have is from McNally Electronics. Its an electronic boost gauge with with a digital EGT read out on the same gauge. Sits nicely right in between the speedo and tacho.

Derrr! Don't mind me. been a hard day at work today. The fittings you asked about, you want to know how to fit it all.
First thing to do is get the gauge and installed. As you need to see whats going on when you fit everything else. Getting the pyro fitting in the dump pipe is the biggest pain for the whole job as you need to remove this pipe, so this means having the truck off the road whilst you get this done.
Then you continue with the rest...
X 2 with Mudski, choose what gauges you're going fit be it Mc Nally or Pillar pod style. No point doing any other mod till this is done.
You need to see whats happening as you do mods and can adjust as required as you go along
Thanks for the info, is there a step by step thread here at all?
have you had a chance to ring that shop yet???
I will blame YOU threedogs if i get into severe shite from the missus when she see's the new scoop on my car. Whats your number so she can ring you and give you a serve?
Yes I went to Guest's 4x4 and couldn't resist.
*shakes fist* DAMN YOU THREEDOGS!!!!
Haha! Its usually the other way around...
You'll have to drive round without the bonnet so everybody can go ooh! looky dat thing
