Right i thought that instead of keep starting topics i'll put it all in one place to save space, sorry if it's in the wrong area
Right then so here it is a 1995 Discovery a 2.5 300TDi engine
but unforutnatly it has a blown turbo and the odd patch of rust. only cost £250 tho
So out with the old turbo
and in with the replacement £83.50 from ebay
It also has an Performance intercooler and i've removed the EGR (blanking plate £7.44 From ebay) and have put a De-cat pipe (£26.95 From ebay)
onto it along with a ITG Foam air filter.
Because i have a performance intercooler on the disco the Pressure the turbo pumps out is lower when it reaches the valves so i've drilled and tapped the intake manifold so i can take a vacuume hose from the manifold and plug it into the waste gate so that the wastegate will get it's reading from the manifold instead of the turbo so the turbo will keep boosting untill it reads i think 1 Bar at the manifold
i had to drill and tap my own hole as i couldnt find an adaptor to fit the hole that was already there, i got the adaptor from Here i got the 5mm to 1/8BSP one, it is a bit small as the vaccume hose the turbo uses is 6.5mm but i brought some 5mm silicone pipe from there and that fits over the 6.5mm coupling on the wastegate
In with the turbo
Light bar wired up
turbo is back on and the rad and intercooler came out today
Opinions good or bad are welcome
