This is the fit up of my intercooler

I am about to get the fuel upped as winding up the boost does nothing if it is already running lean (Which mine is)

The cooler makes a fair bit more torque even on stock settings.

Just had the MU Dyno tuned at Chapmans at Cooroy.

100Hp at the rear wheels.

Big torque increase from 460Lb to 840Lb at the wheels.

It goes very well now.

My funds are limited, so no IC or exhaust just yet, but i got a worthwile power increase by upping boost a bit (11psi, up fron a low 6) and adjusting fuel up a bit. Total cost - $0.00

Pulls better now with the 31's than did with std tyres, no differance to fuel ecomomy if you keep your foot of the floor.

184K aint bad, my '99 Rodeo just clocked 260k and still goin strong.

ricky1970, care to explain how you went about these mods?

Made a 'tee' to go into hose short hose between wastegate actuator and inlet manifold of turbo. There is a restrictor in the manifold side of the tee, 2mm hole from memory. On the tee there is a needle valve, open at the end. To raise boost pressure you open needle valve, which gives a (false) lower pressure at the wastgate so it stays shut and raises boost pressure.
For the fuel increase, remove tin cover on adjusting screw at back of pump, adjust in very small incriments (1/8 turn at a time), test drive and adjust as necessary. Mine was turned up approx 1/2 turn in, with just a hind of black smoke at full load/throttle. If you get lots of black smoke you have gone to far (overfueling).

Hi ricky1970, any chance you could post a photo of the tee piece. Cheers
