Did some cute intake pipe work:

I tried incorporating a length of ally tube the same size as a Type 19 WTA Intercooler, but it just was not going to fit without serious modification.

Another job ticked of the list, finished the gearbox and transfer case breathers.
Found this upon removing the gearbox breather, has someone been putting the wrong oil in? It's red!

I'll do the tacho when I do the speedo and get a raptor console which will be when the exchange rate improves :)
A lot has been happening the last three nights. I haven't been to bed before midnight!
Here is a progress shot:

There is a few temporary things happening in there. Anybody know how much boost it takes to blow a cable tie off an 8mm line?
More details to come!
Looking great.
Not a big deal, but if you want it to breathe a bit better toss the corrugated hose to the air filter. Mine doesn't seem trip the filter indicator with the hose disconnected, but does as soon as connect it and load the engine up.
Was planning to replace it with some nice pipe and elbows, but hasn't happened yet.
Does the boost gauge have a restrictor in the line/gauge? With an 8mm line you might need one if you find the gauge flutters.

Yeah mate, that will change once I finally get a snorkel and fit it.Quote:

I'm not enjoying working with the mud pod, it's so flimsy and there is not sufficient room to connect the back lights.

Fired it up last night after hooking up the gauges and positioning the catch can.
Took it for a run and it boosts 6 psi with stock fuel.
Did a half turn, went for a run, still 6 psi.
Did another full turn, went for a run, still 6 psi.
Unhooked wastegate, took it for a run, roared to 18 psi, 4th gear, up hill. What a beast! Hit 600 on the egt, so a bit of fine tuning to do.
I'll adjust the preload on the wastegate arm and get it to 15 psi I reckon.
Also had a bit of a mishap. On one lap around the block the oil pressure hose blew off, emptying the contents of the engine over a stretch of road and into the driveway. Then I dropped the cone in the grass trying to reattach it. So no oil pressure gauge until I get some spare parts.
I have a few photos to put still to illustrate how I did a few things.

Did you try a full turn of the screw Badco. That might give it a bit more and probably won't effect the egt's, if anything it might drop them a little. I would be aiming for 20psi boost and use your right foot instead of the wastegate. Lucky you noticed the oil problem!
