    Update- Didn't realise i hadn't updated since installing the new turbo and accompanying goodies. Happy to report all is going well really, the holset turbo is much better suited to the derv engine than a td04. I get quicker spool up and much more flow and the turbo isn't being pushed past its limits like the 16t was. I run about 2 bar boost at the moment with nearly maxed at fueling for the size of injectors i currently have. I am trying to keep it as clean as possible too so no coal train style diesel smog for me.

    I have been spending a lot of time learning and perfecting the tuning side myself now instead of trying to find someone to do it. And to be honest when you get into it it's not as scary as you might think. I have mainly been using winols but now i have created an XDF file to use with tunerpro which makes it all a bit more user friendly. I have got a wiring diagram that shows how to wire up the ecu for using ostrich for emulation. The only downside is i need 2 ostriches so this is going to have to wait a while. At the moment i'm still happy to write the files to chips and keep checking and changing as necessary.

    I'll put pics up later.
