Hi Herts I no chap that has some as that running lockers thanks Jon

Well I finally have a VNT turbo and full width intercooler fitted to the 130 300tdi, what a difference, it now pulls much harder than before and far less gear changing, even managed to go up through some gears fully loaded up hills.

Was a load of faffing about though, I Couldn't recommend Allard to anyone after the way they performed, they told me 5 days and nearly 3 weeks later still nothing, cancelled the order and had to chase them to refund my money, ended up getting both from Allisport, was a doddle to fit except the oil drain which was an absolute bitch.

All in all not a cheap upgrade but well worth it if you do a lot of hard towing.

How much for the kit if you dont mind me asking Scraggs? Is low down torque much improved then?

The improvement is right across the range but yes low down torque is much better. The intercooler, turbo and silicon hoses came to £1530 inc VAT and postage.

I need to tweek the IP a bit as yet, I think from todays running it will be a fair bit juicier, but that was running it with the boost pin at it's fullest, I have taken it back a bit this afternoon, that said they were also very heavy loads today.

Will be interesting to see if it effects long term reliability.

The only thing I am not impressed with is the oil return pipe setup, it uses a silicon hose and jubilee clips, I will probably alter that to a proper shielded flexible pipe in time.

Hi Jon

Slightly more boost, but need to get gauge fitted to see exactly where it is, the engine has done about 25k since it was rebuilt when I rebuilt the truck, torque should be somewhere around 250-260lb/ft @1400rpm but it's hard to find figures for this actual kit.

Hi kieth how much boost then my td5 remap by Jermy fern was 200hp 310lbs at 1500rpm thanks yours sounds great thanks Jon

Varying figures about Jon

Boost on mine is set between 1.25-1.4 bar

Allard were claiming nearly 170hp and just under 300lb/ft

I go by how it performs not what the figures say it should be

 

I am still thinking about a new ibex with mounts for a cummins 6 cylinder
