fyi,
my 90 td5 towing 2.5t at 110kph on the flat sits on 600deg
and at 100 sits at 500deg. up hills same load i back of at 680deg.

Cheers DW,

Sounds like ours a pretty close on the temps, even though my TRT chip is "only" the 140Kw one it has the same TRT cooler and DWE EGR removal

I have noticed that the EGT's are lower now I have increase the boost from standard - now runs to 19 PSI boost pressure.

I have even less smoke, more go and better fuel econ - was averaging 14-15L per 100kms but now getting 13-14's all while towing about 1 tonne of camper trailer / oversized MTs / roofrack etc.

So now runs about 450c when cruising and max out at just over 600c on the bigger hills when I dont change down or leave the cruise on.

LRH,

How did you increase boost pressure? If chipped was this part of the remap i.e., increased boost? or did you do some mechanical wizard stuff and bent or turned/screwed something?

Boost pressure can be adjusted mechanicly in small ammounts by shortening the wastegate actuator, if you go to much then the ecu sees overboost and shuts fuel for asplit second untill the boost drops.

If you want to run massive boost then a "boostbox" needs fitting to stop the ecu from seeing the overboost.

Re temps formy 2p's worth

My TD5 running my new VNT hybred turbo and my intercooler sees a max exhaust gas temp of 650c flat nacker measured from a boss in the EGR removal kit i made.
And a max inlet temp of 35c this car is running +60bhp and +110Ft/Lb 16.5Psi

All temps are measured on the dyno and on the road.

Regards Pete
