The weekend super storm that never really happened saw the 'workshop' AKA the two car garage , full with cars and no space to work.
But there was time for progress in thought. Ive decided the air filter will be best positioned alongside the ac compressor, so zip tied it in and figured out a bracket
This requires the PS resevoir to be shifted along to make space for the intake ducting to pass between it and the coolant tank.
The air filter housing will get in the way of the scissor action bonnet stay so I will need to switch to a later td5/puma bonnet stay.
Recieved a new EGT probe. Aussie made, closed tip 1200ms response time. Probe sheath is Inconel with teflon insulated cable. Stainless braid and fittings. Good up to 1100C.
There were probes with faster response times but they were thinner or open tip which reduces strength and longevity. Last thing I want is a bit of probe to break off and grenade my turbo!
The old probe position is filled with a 1/8 npt plug.
