Might sound stupid and hello again guys! Just wondering if it's fine to do this with the tb45e on gas?

Probably no need as patrols don't emit soot like diesels do.
But again it probably won't hurt to suck 100% clean air..

You may want to have a read of this before making that decision http://www.swri.org/3pubs/ttoday/Sum...n-and-Cool.pdf
From what I can understand, you wouldn't really benefit in blocking the EGR (if there is one on the TB range of engines)

Thanks mate! That's what I was looking for!

This has been a seriously good read, all 29 pages.
I now know roughly what I need to do to my CRD.
Got to start assembling the parts.

cheers

Only takes around three or four stubbies Ralph to complete the job.

Hey folks .Just got my gauges fitted and will attack the egr blank soon. I haven't pushed the car since gauges were fitted, but so far my temps are 200 on idle to about 400 round town when I gun it a little bit.
Are these roughly the average temperstures??? I have a 2 & 3/4 beautydesert system in the car so far. I understand my EGT's will rise if I blank the EGR? Correct?
Also with the dawes i'll be able to control the boost max and spool up rate ( needle valve). Could someone in a nutshell help me understand how more boost lowers the EGT's??

Check out Chaz Yellowfoot Threads on Dawes installation, it will answer all you questions and more.
Even google it, it covers all about the imfamous ZD30 engine
@ James is your gauge in Celcius?
I get 450 degrees towing sitting on 110kph

thanks threedogs. i have the autron gauge and i'm pretty sure it is celsius. i have the common rail engine. and as i said i am yet to put it under load. i will never tow so, ill have to take it up a hill somewhere and test it out. what sort of PSI boost does your sit while its towing at 110km/h ???
thanks.
