Allisport full width intercooler question.

(1/4) > >>

Sharpshooter:
Well. I went to billing today. I treated the disco to an Allisport Full width intercooler. Got home, and had it in within the hour.

Now, it comes with basic instructions, but still smokes a little when you accelerate. Is this normal, and does anyone have acomprehensive guide to setting them up?

But already more power Ug Ug Ug. :)

Range Rover Blues:
Got to say I don't know.  Julie's TDi had already been tweaked before we got it but I'm hoping the intercooler will be finished next week, then they'll have a look at the pump etc.  I don't think it'll tweak any more but I'm hoping it will smoke less.  Black or dark grey smoke is unburned fuel, not good for economy.

Sharpshooter:
Well. I bought an Allisport full width intercooler at billing yesterday. I fitted it in haste last night and was well pleased. I adjusted the boost preasure and the diaphragm, as per their instructions. I droveit this morning, and WOW.

But tonight, i have cleaned and waxed her, so i though i would see if i could improve it.

I actually backed the boost off a very small amount, and it hasimproved it.

So now i have a disco pulls like a train,and looks the danglies.

Smiles all round.

And yes, it was worth the money.

boss:
you do not have to back the boost off atall! the smoke is a result of all the crap in your engine being dislodged by the new power, it is normal.
my old chap is running about 22psi of boost in his td5 but he had the full tune aswell.

Sharpshooter:
As it happends, i didnt back it off to change the smoke. I backed it off to make the turbo spin up sooner. :)

But i know what you mean.
