Turbo lifespan
Budgie:
If the intercooler hasn't been cleaned then it's worth doing.
I can't remember what size tyres you've got Gord but if it's something like 235x85's then this will drasticly effect the gearing of the vehicle and make your speedo read upto 7mph slower than you are actually going!!
If you've got a GPS then check your actual speed with what the speedo is telling you, it may not be as slow as you think! :wink:

So, you haven't read all the stuff that appears under all of my posts then :roll: :wink: Yes, 235/85's :lol:
I've checked the speedo with a GPS and at 30 it's dead on, by the time the speedo is reading 70, I'm actually doing 75. In my previous posts, I'm talking actual GPS speed readings.
The problem is not so much that it takes a long time to get there (70mph), but the fact that it struggles to get there in the first place and then struggles/fails to maintain it.

just had my 90 on the boost guage as its fitted with a disco engine & its only doin 7 psi or .5 bar & i lengthened the actuator rod 1 1/2 turns & that didnt make any difference,any sugestions as my 90 strugles to get to 70 mph aswell but itts fitted with 205's & a NA t box

i thought that you shorten the actuater arm i.e wind it in. to gain boost im only refering to my rs turbo days so might be wrong with the landie but i should think its the same as any other turbo. joe
seph234:
