Well just got back from a 4 day trip with the new turbo. The turbo performed faultlessly with the only issue being high egt's towing the camper so pretty much had to drive by the gauge. Besides a loose wheel bearing the trip went well and the family loved it once again. Once my mum upload the pics she has which isnt many i'll put them up.
Went well mate loved it. Needs a tune though as it was reaching 500 on the egt gauge 1/2 way to 3/4 up most hills so had to back of but until then it flies with the camper in tow yet to drive it without the camper since i fixed the boost leak so should be even better.
some more pics
tried this in 2wd to lazy to get out and lock the hubs in. Made it as far as last photo before the car died in the arse just couldnt keep the revs up enough whilst going up the rock section at the bottom.
Went for a trip to bylong 4wd park last weekend. Had a ball and got to test out the flex finally in the patrol. Was very happy with it even with the swaybar still connected it flexed heaps.
Funnily enough everyone wanted a drive of it through the wombat holes. Also added a boost controller and upped the boost to 15psi. Wouldnt say it goes alot better but better fuel economy and egts take longer to rise as well. With the turbo and 3 inch exhaust iy doesnt sound any different to when it was stock. The turbo makes no noise and the exhaust note is no different either and thats coming from more then just me. Wierd.
