It was sunny and delishus back home. Im never driving through country Victoria again you can bet on that. Have any of the cxnts that build roads here ever heard of grading and rolling the surface flat before they throw down the bitumen? f**king rollercoaster ride that Western Hwy (when youre not doing 25kmh in roadworks). |

QUOTE (aloshan @ Dec 22 2012, 11:41 PM)  installed boost controller & intercooler Snip* I also installed a boost controller the other day, running 10psi would hit 10 about 4 grand revs them spike to 18psi and boost cut at 5.500 revs. Fixed the problem but now won't boost past 7. Thinking its because of the standard actuator, did you have this problem? Also mine is only series 1. |

Stripped my interior and started taking off the chrome mouldings on the outside of her. The painter mate of my dad's who came round "had a look and quote" to give her a clean up and spray reckons "at mates rates" it'll cost me 4 to 5k. 2k worth of materials, the rest is labour. And that's after I get it blasted. Says that every panel has rust in it and that it has to be cut out and/or glassed. I stripped everything right back to a bare shell this morning and I can sincerely say that there is sweet f**k all rust in her anywhere. The worst part being the tailgate which will be replaced anyway. This guy just seemed like a gigantic douche. I also priced the paint I want it done in, 1k is all it'll cost for the paint, thinners and hardeners.... |

Thinking its because of the standard actuator, did you have this problem? Also mine is only series 1. which controller did you install? i had this problem slightly , setting it to 12 , would result it in jumping to 13-14 and boost cut kicking in. I basically just set it to 11 to compensate for it possibly hitting 13 and even then , fuel cut shouldn't kick in. Only does this in first and second gear under high revs though. i guess its dependent upon the type of boost controller you have |

I figured it couldn't be normal and wound it down to 9 and problem seems to have gone altogether. Am running a turbo smart manual boost controller. Have a 2 stage just can't be bothered with the wiring haha. |

Did some minor Exhaust fabrication. Made a custom exhaust bracket on to my gear box cross member and used an FJ45 cruiser mount to get my Y-pipe as close as possible to the body in preparation for the new suspension arriving this week. Then it will be the decision of HID conversion or top swap supercharged conversion. |
