I think we were all getting a bit concerned for you Wheelie, just hours before You’re departure.
Best news Matey, well done!
Readings in the morning please!

I think today has been one of my most stressful days, not knowing whether it would be ready or not, but it’s done. Just need to drive it for myself now then I’ll be happy :thumbs

Yes it was a new Garret turbo, it was best part of £700 quid just for the turbo

Hope the improved performance makes up in some way for the outlay.

Great news, really happy for you.

They were really quick getting that new turbo. Lucky it wasn't the 2.8. Turbos are quite hard to find.

What is the standard boost on a 3.0?

Normal operational boost is about 16psi before limp.

Picked up the truck this morning and took it for a 15 mile run, everything seems to be good, can definitely hear more air going in through the snorkel and it does run a lot better. Only pushed it to 0.9 bar but it accelerated better than before,
So videos will be coming if anyone is interested, there is a link in my post (pre Portugal run) for anyone that wants to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
Cheers guys
