I'd hate to see the EGT's up any decent hill :eek:

Those that have followed (can keep up ? hahahaha, ok, I'll stop :() reckon my Tdi is smoke free at 100km/h in 4th and WOT up the hills here and yet I can blast past 720* easily if I'm not careful.

what thermocouple do you run and where (as in har far into the stream)

the new donk pulls way to good compared to any other 300 Ive driven and boosts like a banshee but it dont go above 550 (fuel aneroid at max setting) stop screw untouched

It has passed y feeble mind that my thermocouple is not in the main gas flow and under measuring - THe only calibration I have is when she hasnt run for a while EGT matches air temperature roughly - but it could still be out at the top end

Hmmmmmmm

need to stop AULRO and get the boat ready

Sorry, missed this Steve.

It's one of Ian's (Thermoguard) 6mm probes in the EGR port and I think I bent it a little ?

Anyway, it responds bloody quickly.
Dougal reckons 6mm is too big and isn't fast enough, 3mm is optimal and I agree, but at full noise and over 2km of hill the readout matches what the right foot is doing, there's bugger all to no overshoot at the slightest of lifts and instantly shoots back up as you increase throttle pressure. I really can drive it to the pyro.

Never touched the maximum fuel screw (after a conversation with Ian years ago) only the aneroid and have fine tuned it from there.

I've backed it off a touch over the years just to reduce smoke, the very first drive about seven years ago it blasted past 750* on the first incline :eek:
It bellows smoke like 007's AM from just above idle but that clears as soon as it makes boost.

Fuel economy is excellent, 11.5-11.8l/100km with ladders on top and 6-800kg of gear in the back, regardless of how I drive it.
