When winnie got his it was making 82kw
I can't remember what the first dyno I got was... I think it was 76 or something, that 82 was after the new turbo and cooler but before the tune.
To be honest I'm lost because I don't know what I want.Quote:

Leah's commodore is coming close to its death. I have "long" term plans of getting Leah a nice auto 4wd for our family trips and my gq will eventually simply be a fun weekend car to dip into more challenging things.
You should be pretty happy with those numbers out of your little turbo mate. Small second hand turbo. It's doing pretty well. What is Boost set at now?
There is a very good Pump guy not far from you AB and he will put a 12mm plunger and rebuild your pump for under $2k. Just down the road.
12psi.Quote:

Yeah he is a guy that sets up a lot of Competition stuff down this way. Low key but highly recommended to me. You can spend soooo much money on Pump mods, mild to wild. This guy was going to do my pup rebuild on the GUIV when I was chasing that fuel problem a year or so ago. Was weeks away from spending the money on a rebuild when I found the split fuel line causing my trouble. LolQuote:

hey AB if I was to use a smaller IC would the pipes fit down the side of the radiator or in a spot where no cutting is involved??
Smaller pipe would be a lot easier mate as you can run the hot side directly to the turbo running past the alternator and in general a lot easier.Quote:

Thought I would throw this pic up before I bolt everything back on.
Took everything apart today, siliconed up everything just incase and re tightened all clamps. Pita but peace of mind when in deep water.

Pine ridge rd has been closed for a while now. Shame used to be a good track, but got seriously chopped up after the fires, last time I went up was pretty rough.
Yeah right, thanks Rossco, I used to travel up and down there in my old chev powered Hilux back when I lived in Pheasant Creek. :smiley_thumbs_up:Quote:
