    GU Turbo thingey

    Thanks Telstra,

    Looks like a bit of fiddling is due Your specs are more what I'd be expecting...

    I've got a Needle valve under the bonnet and I think a Dawes valve adjustment in the cabin. All NADS stuff was already installed when I bought the vehicle. (Catch can, dawes & needle valve, EGT & Boost guages, EGR blank)
    I understand the Dawes valve (If I am naming it correctly) controls max boost, and the needle valve controls turbo spool up rate ?

    I'll have to get out and have a look.
    Dyno is certainly an attractive option.
    Does anyone know of a reputable 'Patrol whisperer' on the north side of Perth anywhere ?

    Cheers for the replies all.

    Simon

    Just joined the GU club... Happy days !
