scary moment... wondering what could it be?

There's a bloke on Ebay selling a kit with a VDO boost gague all taped and ready to go. A bit pricey at $250 (?)

I liked the bost gague as it goes 0 to 15 PSI so realy easy to read

So you run your boost too low or like your guage to sit on the stops??? Pumas, TD5s, 300Tdis and factory 4BD1Ts all run >15 psi max standard. I have a 0-30 psi boost guage.

Havent been back to the post in a few days. I thought that the TD5's ran under 15 psi boost?

I remember reading ~22psi on here. All modern diesels I am aware of run >15psi.

the cutout will come in around 19.7psi IIRC and thats gauge pressure (nanocom - atmospheric)

interestingly this weekend i towed similar load and the boat to mandurah and the temp didnt get above 95deg....

something has to be amiss... and i suspect the egr quite badly....
