Thanks,i set the wastegate to give max 1bar[14 psi ] this has brought the egt down to a max of 650 deg c. 300 deg c at 50 mph.
The turbo to silencer pipe has decided to part company at the turbo end where its welded to the flange!! [nice word "flange" ]
The new pipe should arrive Tuesday!?
Any coments?
