3 Amigos BANISHED to amigo heaven!!!!

Did what was suggested here under Option B: ABS Mod - Land Rover Club V.I.
to my ABS Modulator. My thanks to whoever wrote the article. It cost nothing apart from a couple of electrical connectors & 2hrs of my time including bleeding the brakes with Nanocom. Jeez!, those amigos bugged me, I don't know why I didn't do the fix sooner, it's so easy.

Also replaced the injector harness & the MAF with a genuine unit. Now "it" revs freely above 3k rpm instead of running out of steam. What a different vehicle now. It seems also that the 2150rpm drone has been all but silenced too due in part to the new engine mounts. You might notice that it still an "it" & not the more fuzzy "she" We need time to bond again.

Now to find the little gremlin that works the starter motor with the ignition in position II after driving in heavy rain. He also invokes his "mate in rain" - the dashboard instruments/electric windows/indicators/central locking killer.

According to Nanocom my manifold pressure is at 1005Pa at idle & 2300Pa under load. I have not seen the Waste Gate Modulator show an output. Something is not right or what?

[LandyAndy]

In instrument mode Nanocom shows boost.
You can adjust it right up to the point that the ECU cuts fuel as its overboosting.
Do a search on Adjusting Wastgate.
Trick is to lengthen the rod(its on the turbo) a bit at a time till the point that the ECU shuts the fuel off due to overboost then back it off.From memory 1.35 on the display is about the best you can get.
It cant damage the engine,ECU protects it.The factory setting is pretty moderate.If you adjust it the wrong way you will soon see the performance drop!!! You are lengthening the rod to hold the wastgate shut longer.
ENJOY

I'm not sure that the Waste Gate is even operating. I suspect that it is permanently shut. How do I check with the Nanocom?
