Carroll:
Have you tried cleaning out the intercooler? I've been meaning to do mine for a while but not yet got around to it. I've heard it said a few times that it's well worth doing as oily stuff gets in there and reduces its efficiency.

If you have then get a bigger one! :twisted:

colintandy:
no i havent but its only been on since march /april this year and i disconnected the sump breather pipe which is where alot of that oil comes from so hopefully it should be clean in there
i would not go for a bigger intercooler as i like to offroad and all they do is fill with mud at front and straight away you loose evecincy i kept to same size just a drop in replacement and also keeping big fan on as this tends to pull the air through effectivley when you leave the couling in place whilst offroading but they do tend to spray water every where but she diesel so no worries maybe im just being greedy like i said this power thing gets addictive i want more and more how much can you get out of a 200tdi

If you look in the Maplin catalouge you can get a theremomoter that you just point at a surface for a temperature. No good while you are driving but OK for setting it up.

Not much help I'm afraid..  exhaust temperature is directly related to the engine workload, turbo workload and fuel usage...  so it needs to be there when you are driving to be any use.

colintandy:
would prefer one that you plump into the manifold and a probe to give accurate reading thinking of looking at some aircraft ones as they seem to be alot cheaper like the marine also are cheaper  seen a few automotive models 170 quid ! i think not
