But don't the ZD30's not like extra boost.
Boom. For instance.

Boost alone won't hurt the engine that easily.

600 when really pushing it but don't like it that high.
Being a crd is very common.
So the way i see it, should be ok.

even with that bird catcher i would have thought egt,s would be much lower

Towing my EGTs are 450c but sitting solo at 110kph = 350 if that.
Might need a Dyno Mego
My max boost is 20psi

i dont know why your so high when towing i get between 250 on the flat and 350 up hill or a tad higher in a head wind id take that grill out of the scoop and see if that makes a difference it must be restricting some air flow

On my crd i see 600+ towing easily, quickly jump on boost and it drops.
Normal driving i get 450-500

.....on the move

That's the difference between the CRD and Di, Roofy.

i didnt think 3ds was a crd i know that the crd always run hotter krisso did a write up on it on his big trip

@ Roofy mine is a Di I run 10-11psi at 100-110 kph when going up the Murray.
I remember you saying you stopped and adjusted your boost last time with Jane.
What was that for? Grill has been out for a while now

Edit sitting on 110 solo about 300c and towing 370ish c
