Defender / Disco Turbo Mods

How did he manage to get all that crud and rust inside the injector pump? All the ones I have 'done' have been squeaky clean. Another trick is to connect the wastegate to the inlet after the intercooler instead of at the turbo. Then the wastegate will open according to engine input pressure rather than turbo outlet pressure. He also doesn't mention adjusting the 'smoke screw' which is normally done by about 1 turn cw.

Posted here as it may be of interest to both Defender and Disco owners......

Recently modded my defender and OMG what a difference

10 minutes work and she now goes far far better and runs a lot smoother

Apologies for those who have seen this on other forums a few weeks back but I've only just joined on here so thought I would add it here as well...

Full run down and Hi Res pics on my site for anyone wanting to play with theirs...

i have wound my actuator in 11 full turns it is now safely running 13psi very smoothly giving me that extra power i need due to the size of my tyres, spools quicker and up long hills i dont loose power​

13psi is less than 1 bar Sean... a Tdi can take 1 bar easily with no ill effects... no reason why it shouldn't last mate - what makes you think it might not?
