First highway report is its a different car that's for sure. When I got up in the 70kmh + range it went like shit of a shovel in contrast to before the tune. It was a mild morning and egts were kept very tame as well.
Happy so far. Will see how she goes later ...

Very keen to see this hpd ic I might have lined up for my self with the scoop. Just getting in touch with hpd to get a hose set might prove interesting after the phone call I just made ...

I've cancelled the order on the cheapo thought I'd do it right the first time.

Matt. Probably know the answer but I thought I'd ask .
Under the hood would there be any difference between a wagon td42ti or a ute td42ti ?

The IC setup I'm eyeing is off a td42ti ute brackets and all ... just want to confirm before I take the plunge .

Who's a happy camper then, sounds like these 4.2's like a bit of boost
and freeflowing exhaust to keep them humming along.
Fuel figures must be better to I'd imagine

Yeah different car.
On the way home today my foot got heavy and itchy lol so wanted to see how she really dances and bloody hell she has some go now in the high end department ...
So the egts where I'd normally easily hit 400 now didn't go over 325...
However if I really sink the ankle into it she reaches 400+ quickly. ..
But I don't need to do that any more as she has much more go under lighter foot...

So fingers crossed this hpd ic works out! Looking at it tomorrow.

Awesome to hear!! Just wait till you put a different turbo and pump on, then you'll be smiling!!

Going to walk away from the series 2 HPD intercooler and scoop, that I had lined up. In a nutshell it's the one below. But second hand, off a written off 42ti ute... The setup on the car has the hpd airbox cover too and piping but that is all mangled... The complete piping from ic to turbo and ic to manifold is gone (sold)... So I'd have to source that as well. the scoop is white but has marks on it so it'd have to be repainted. Was hoping the bonnet would be ok too but that was beyond repair.
Also IC had oil on it so unsure whether it was damaged or it was leaking....
The wrecker wanted 1400, 600 below for the price i could get the whole kit new.

Anyways Back to the drawing board.
For the $ of this new kit a few extra 100 would give me the ultimate cross country package. So will have to rethink ...

Noticed this morning that Aircon ON RPM is slightly higher than it used to be... Definitely noticeable. I think normal idle revs are 600?? Usually aircon revs are up just slightly, but now they jump to 900... Is this something the tuner would have touched I'm guessing somewhere at the pump ??

Sounds like they have adjusted the fuel screw which is odd for a stock setup. It is easily adjusted if you wanted to have a go by yourself. Although it is something they should have done.

Thanks Matt. I parked up, shut off, walked into Bunnings for 5 minutes, walked out, got going and it corrected itself ???
JPC is 500m from Bunnings so was gonna drive there but then it come good.
Will keep an eye on it ...

Cancel the fix. .. it seems to be doing it on and off.
The vacuum valve attached to the pump could be getting stuck or something? ?
