Cheers Antony.
1 - I had the pump done because it had done 200k since last rebuild and was starting to smoke as well as in my opinion lug a bit down low.
This had been tweaked on the dyno and was a rocket down low and up high but I didn't know enough at the time to ask the right questions. As such, always just kept it under 500 post turbo EGT.
2 - in reference to the above i had it back to the shop six times in total with various problems after the rebuild I had never experienced. The last time they claimed to rebuild it to the latest specs or 'mod' it. Hence why I'm never going back.
3 - no mods other than beau desert 3 inch exhaust and everything in good order. Uses no oil, oil tests just came back good etc. it can achieve 11.2L/100 on highway if gentle.
4 - want to resolve the low end which is just awful. I can barely take off on a hill with a trailer.
5 - AFRs are around 20-24 from start. No smoke. They him around the 22-23 until 2400rpm or so and start to dip a bit then dive to a low of 18.2 at around 3500rpm foot buried.
6 - EGTs obviously dependent on load, but at 100km/h 350 - 400 on flat post turbo but on a hill will hit 550 and I held it flat with my boat in tow ~1t as a test on a long minor grade and it maxed at 600 which is too high in my books.
As such, unless the aneroid can solve it all the next step will be checking pump on a bench to see what the clowns might have done wrong.
I am at my ends wit.
