boost gauge is a working. Lawso gave me a hand (well... sat in the passenger seat and fell asleep

) question, is ~25psi boost normal for a diesel with a Variable Geometry turbo? because thats what the gauge is reading... and i dunno if its faulty or accurate

well on Tuesday i started work on my new pod box housing (or whatever you want to call it). Made some templates using cardboard, then, when I realised the cardboard was too thin made some new templates.

the design is a 3 piece box consisting of a base, a back and a side wall, (lid to be made soon).

Made the base on Wednesday, side wall today and rear wall tomorrow.

Designs are similar to Dstocks but i had to make some changes because my intake tube will be entering right on a corner, which i had some dramas working around.

pics to come

She sounds f*cking hot too!

Get those extractors on!

Post by **aza013** » Sat Mar 27, 2010 2:38 pm

Yep I will have to do that.
It sounds good but when yours got a boot full oh sh*t I had to cover up the woody I was getting, I could not help but grin every time.

But Brent knows his sh*t hey. Guy's a genius on the dyno, especially with a Haltech. On your first run, he just looks at the graphs & says "Running heaps lean, gimmie a minute I'll sort it."

By the time I came back from the shops with those bottles of Coke, he was done & you had 137kws

Yep you are spot on there

it was well worth the drive out there for the day, the old saying two birds with the one stone

I may even go out there every time I need a retune.
