Hi all just noticed yesterday if I rev the Patrol whilst in "park" the motor produces boost.
It never did this before but thinking it must be because I have the EGR blocked.
Is this normal as now exhaust turns turbo ???
Any ideas

Would it be the same as a manual reving in neutral ? I can get boost when I rev mine, not as high as when driving though
Do You have EGR blocked as well,
Before my mechanic said as it wasn't under load it would be nil boost.
But now the EGR is blocked and as you I get boost not as much as under load [driving]
@ MEH is yours a 3 ltr DI
Same here. I can get very low boost when revving in neutral, maybe 4psi maxQuote:

Yeah 3.0 Di
Must be normal then now that I'm using DAWES etc. Thanks
From my knowledge all 3L do this from stock. We just noticed this on a brand new common rail we got when comparing to my DI.
My best guess is that it assists with speeding up the low RPM boost by already having the waste gate fluttering (at idle)
You have an auto too which places a little bit of load on the motor compared to a manual. I wouldn't worry to much as ironman said to get the best out of such a little motor it needs to be ready to go.
I don't normally rev it as I have no need but was waiting for someone idling and gave it a few taps on the throttle,
Cant see it doing any harm as Patrol is running like a swiss clock Atm lol. Just curious, so thanks to all for your answers
Is it unusual for mine to be doing it?Quote:

No no where near idle, more like 3000rpm when I rev in neutral.Quote:

Completely usual mate, manual should do the same thing. My GU does :DQuote:

No you should see more!! There are setups out there which can produce near on 30psi by 2000rpm on a td42 and can hold that til nearly 4000rpm. They make for a very drive able and responsive vehicle.Quote:

True! But I'm making the assumption its a stock setup.
Fair enough.
So installed my boost gauge today on a stock 3L Di manual and yes it produced 2psi at 2000rpm and 4psi at 2500rpm. Didn't go any higher but would assume it would keep getting higher.

This is how turbo cars that drag race and hill climb work watch some videos even tractor/ sled pulling they rev up until boost comes on the they get the hole shot launch otherwise they bog down
Funny, this is what I do at the traffic lights. Lol.Quote:
