hi how do u fit a turbo boost guage  to a 300 :(thinkhard):   :(bigshock):

Porny:
The Land Rover recommended method is to fit a 'T' piece in the pipe that goes from the turbo compressor housing to the turbo actuator.
Then it just a case of running the pipe to where you want to fit a gauge, or just into the cabin if a temporary measure.
There are other ways though....

I've attached some pictures of the fittings when I had a gauge on my 200Tdi Defender.... same principles, just a different turbo set up.... and easier to get too!!

I've also attached a pic of a boost gauge and pod set-up, which is the easiest way of fitting a boost gauge to a Disco... available from quite a few places, but I can supply these if you get stuck.

Digsit cleaned the intercooler on Clarety last week with Parafin.  Bought from Focus - gardening department.

Blimey what a lot of muck came out.  :shock:

Hi guys,

Don't know if you've seen this site before:

http://www.landroverdiscovery.net/

but it's got some info about cleaning the intercooler in the technical section. Darren's (site owner) a very nice bloke and is always helpful if you have any questions about stuff on his site.

Hope that helps

Right done the intercooler today and have also changed the hose off the turbo into the bottom end of the intercooler(only had the cash for standard rubber hose)
Took about 6 hours in total to get everything stripped,cleaned,dry.put back in place.

Been out on a test run as well and its made a resonable differance.
Used parafin to clean out the intercooler itself and the alloy pipe that runs into the bottom off the turbo.  
There wasnt as much crud in there as I was expecting but you can still feel the differance.
I think I'll start looking into some silicone hoses though as the other hoses seem to be a bit soft as well.

That www.landroverdiscovery.net sight is really good and had quite a bit of usefull info on so thats now saved in favorites.
Thanks cal for that link
