This has gotten me quite interested. Would there be any interest in a group buy?
I noticed they had a reference to it on their eBay listing.
Uprated Hybrid ST1 Turbo CHRA 465171 465175 Land Rover Defender Discovery 200tdi | eBay
I have emailed them and asked what sort of numbers they require and discount etc.
by way of a straw poll, would anyone else be interested?

Hello.
I saw this thread a while back and thought the improved turbo cartridge looks ok. My turbo then conveniently blew and I needed a replacement so I ordered and fitted this new you beaut turbo cartridge.
I have installed the cartridge. Power is up, but so are the egt's under hard accelleration(not good for when I'm towing, but not tested yet). I have a 2a intercooler, a plug in chip and straight through exhaust, which previously had given no problem with high egt's..
There is no overboost occuring and it is adjusted to maximum boost without hitting the safety.
Everything was cleaned from the oil that went everywher internally, intercooler etc
Does anyone have any theories about how to get the egt's back down??
Cheers,
Jason

SubscriberTake your foot off the accelerator a bit.Does anyone have any theories about how to get the egt's back down??
Mine would run up above 750C if I keep my foot in it, so I just back off a bit and hold at say 650C.

Hello PhilipA,
Taking the foot off is the easy answer. That is what the alarm was installed for.
My question is more about what has caused the egt's to increase and how to get them back down through adjustment. As with the old turbo, I could put the foot to the floor and the alarm would rarely go off.
Kelvo stated that his egt's were slightly lower. What I want to know is why mine have risen.
Cheers,
Jason

SubscriberMy opinion, for what it's worth.... Most piggyback chips work by increasing the fuel, either in quantity or dwell time. The added boost from the new turbo has changed the parameters that chip was designed to work with, hence temps rising from extra fuel at certain throttle openings/ system loads.

SubscriberWell, we would all like to know that one.My question is more about what has caused the egt's to increase
Offtrack has indicated that in his opinion most tuners are pretty crude and just add fuel to the stock map, rather than adjusting timing etc and mentioned one tuner who in his opinion had it correct.
I cannot find this post now .
The max boost for the altered core is 22PSI, and I am touching that on occasion so there is not much room for increased boost to reduce EGTs, it would have to be by a sophisticated map, although I don't know if such a thing exists. I have no EGR, decat, coated exhaust manifold, performance muffler, serck intercooler etc so no scope for me to do any more, and I recall you have the same.
A performance intercooler helps quite a bit.
