    Overboost?

    I've got one of those Nanocoms on order since November but they're having backlog apparently and I'll have it mid January after they've got stock. By the way, how do you tell which ECU you have? I'm hoping I have the nnn programable one, I think it's nnn isn't it?

    Overboost?

    Hmm I thought they were at less than 20psi stock?

    Overboost?

    Tell me about lol. I think I've spent more time messing with Turbo's on my Focus since 2011 than I've spent driving it. As for this Discovery, I don't have a Timer installed but I always warm up and cool down, I'm always still sitting in the car park while the mrs is already in the shops lmao...

    Overboost?

    Well I told them The EGR is removed and the exhaust is completely straight through, they said the cat would need cleaning but, there isn't one so there are no blockages there :) No boxes either, just a pipe. And I always change the oil and filters when changing a Turbo, but yes they did tell me...

    Overboost?

    I know lol. I was going by the information given to me by the people who exchanged my old one and built this new one for me. I told them I was running everything stock, they suggested this one... So I mean what do I do they're supposed to be well respected people who know their stuff :/...

    Overboost?

    Thanks for your reply! Well, I wasn't actually chasing more power at this stage, I do plan to but not yet, I only got this Turbo because the old one exploded so I used the chance to get an upgraded Hybird one because I could run that with the stock map and parts for now. The VGT one I was...

    Thank you very much all of you :)

    Overboost?

    It's not a hard thing to do really is it, and I was simply asking what happens when it goes into over boost, I susspect it is, and if it cuts power temporarily then that's my problem solved. I didn't want to take it to be mapped and find out there is other issues that I thought were just...

    Overboost?

    Well, I needed a new one because the old one gave up on the M3 in September. The Turbo Centre recommended a Hybrid when I mentioned I wanted a little more low end power. I think it would be a little more ruined if I'd have kept the old one on to be honest... Well, with it set to how it arrived...

    Overboost?

    Hello everyone, I hope you all had a great christmas! I've been messing around installing a slightly bigger Hybrid Turbo onto my Discovery TD5, I am looking for some help in what happens when it goes into overboost? As far as I know they're programmed to go into it at 20psi, right? My new...

    Disco 2 What Turbo Do You Have?

    Here we go <<<< This seems like a good option to me, I'm not sure if it is actually bigger but it claims better performance.

    Disco 2 What Turbo Do You Have?

    It says on the Alisport website it's a direct fit, I'll email them to make sure, I didn't think of that!

    Disco 2 What Turbo Do You Have?

    Sweet, the one I was looking at is VGT, and comes with a boostbox for £860 it's also physically bigger I think. Down sides are I'll have to get a bigger inter cooler also ;/

    Disco 2 What Turbo Do You Have?

    I've seen those yeah, so you still have the standard Turbo? And I'm not after anything just trying to make a conversation...

    Disco 2 What Turbo Do You Have?

    Either this forum is dead or nobody feels like talking about Turbo's... Oh well :(

    Yeah I agree I'm hoping no damage has been done because of this. I'm hopng the lack of power over the last few months has been due to the Turbo starting to fail.

    Haha I agree I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they don't know much. I agree, I like to take the breathers off to avoid it all going back into the engine... I think of an engine like a Human, the cleaner the air the better it'll run...

    Haha, they're TW30's and 25's for example, they're Turbo'd. Anyway, I've done many miles on the TD5 like this, over 6 years of trips across the country and local driving also. Anyway like I said I'm hoping to learn something as well as hear your thoughts on the original AA blokes claim lol.

    Hey, I didn't know it had an effect on the fueling, I can't say I noticed a difference if I'm honest. For as long as I've been around engines when I went a long with my father on the farm all of the breathers on the tractors were all just vented down to the ground so on all of my past cars and...

    Morning everyone! I have a topic I thought I'd bring here just to see what your thoughts are. Question: Does diverting the breather from the intake to atmosphere damage the Turbo? I've put the question in short above ^^^ for those of you who don't want to read, but here is my explanation...
