BAS VNT Installed

Yeah was thinking of the intercooler having a lot of oil in it as I have never flushed it out but I have had no dramas until now. Maybe the vnt moves more air through and has stirred things up but i am thinking something else is the issue.

[QUOTE=twr7cx;1677304]This evening I have finished the installation of my VNT from BAS. Took an hour to remove the standard turbo and about 6-7 hours to fit the VNT after that (first time for me working on the TD5 turbo)...


What's the $$$ damage for one of these? Have thought about one of these since I got the camper trailer.

Cheers,

Mike

About $1,500.00 delivered by the time you pay the import taxes and fees.

Hi guys, just found this thread when trying to solve my boost limit issues with my BAS VNT on my 03 Disco TD5 auto, fitted by Justin C earlier this year.
We just idid the MAF bypass with 19mm pipe with immediate success. Goes like stink, no stutter or fuel limiting. Auto shifts better too.

Used T piece where oil vapour pipe enters air inlet.

Alive Tuning can't supply upgraded MAF for a while. But do I need it as well is the thing? Any ideas? Bit concerned that the fueling (BAS custom map) is not properly managed if the MAF is bypassed. EGTs seem a bit higher under max load.

Cheers
Max

Interesting. I run the Alive Tuning Boost Box and their uprated MAF, I have absolutely no issues now with cutting out and limiters. Prior to installing their MAF I did have issues with the limiter.



Very keen to see this setup!

Probably not, you probably only need one or the other as the TD5Alive/Alive Tuning MAF sensor is meant to be used without the bypass.

Speak to BAS. They advise to do the MAF bypass, so I would assume their tunes would be done with this in mind or that they should be willing to adjust the tune to suit.
