Thread: Turbo Rebuild Limited Td5

With an new turbo cartridge can one run about 21psi safely?

I got a reply back overnight.

He could do pricing as follows:

5+ 240GBP which is around the $400 mark depending on what exchange you get.
10+ 230GBP around $380

those prices are delivered to Aust and with everyone just paying individually.


Not a massive cost saving on what Rangieman paid, but it is a bit off their list price. I'm guessing they are rather heavy and shipping is a little expensive.

What do I need to do to put a group buy up, do I need any permission?

Same. I can't get a response from Jose and have been trying for some months through PM and direct emails.
Unfortunately I will have to sort through someone else.
Having the tune, eventually, is one thing, having a response inside a suitable time frame if ever I have difficulty is another.

Hello,

Well the unit now works perfectly now that I have had a little time to play with a few settings.

1) Wastegate opened(rod shortened) up three and a half turns. Was on max with the old turbo but it did have a broken vane on the exhaust side.

2) Upped the fuel output on the chip to maximum.

This allows me to have WOT for sustained periods going up a decent gradient without the EGT hitting the dreaded 703 Centigrade.
The new cartridge is a dream after a few minor adjustments.

Thankyou all for for your responses.

Cheers,

Jason

So is an plug and play chip worth the upgrade or just turn up the boost?

Glad you got it sorted Jason , I was getting worried I opened my mouth and suggest you should purchase one in the first place , thought I'd keep quiet until you sorted it out.

That might fit in the good advice section
Yes glad you sorted it Jason

Thanks for highlighting this, mine's on it's way. I just hope it's worthwhile. My excuse is there is a smigin of play in the bearing and it is cheaper to go this way than pay to o/haul the turbo. Oh yeah, smigin is a technical term!

Cheers
