The MAF is a relative new cheapy which doesn't compare too badly with the expected values. It did give some 0 readings at high revs for a few cycles though. Not sure if this is a Nancom logging issue or a serves-me-right for buying cheap! I try with the MAF disconnected and noticed smoke, but the breeze had piped up by then so it's hard to compare the amount of smoke to the earlier session. It looked like it may have been less. I hadn't thought to much about injectors as the impression I get is that they last forever, but that would make a sense. Is there a test for these?
The original hoses were pretty ordinary and I replaced all the hoses with new silicon hoses a few months back and these appear reasonably well made (I read the advice on this forum about issues and made sure I ordered decently spec'd ones). I did notice that the hose connected to the turbo outlet has been moving slightly, but all the hose clamps needed a slight nip up. The hoses themselves look fine from the outside. I suppose I could set up an old go-pro and see what is happening under load to them. I'd imagine they'd either suck in due to venturi effect or bulge out with internal delamination?
I did have one of the original hoses "pop off" at on stage and the power loss was dramatic, with the old girl struggling to reach 80 (kph). I'm not getting that same or even a seat-of-the-pants feel of power loss, but then again I don't have another TD5 to compare to.
if anyone is interested, I've attached a modified log from the Nanocom which comprised a run around the block with a couple of high RPM squirts and foot flat to the floor low RPM accelerations when going around corners in either second or third. Not too sure what to make of the values.
