I’ll also add I had no issue hitting limp mode today. God I love this car. It fixes itself most days of the week. 😂😂
Cool, I see you said earlier that it normally hits a max of 15/16psi, which is also good if you can stay away from limp. The 20psi spike you speak of, is that only momentarily? If so nothing to worry about, normally for limp to occur a condition must last for several seconds.Flat road steady throttle holding 100kms
About 2600rpm in fifth gear
Is bang on 11psi most of the time if not 10-11psi
Lol, I've had this happen after an ECU reset, the vehicle 'learns' to cope with certain parameters.I’ll also add I had no issue hitting limp mode today. God I love this car. It fixes itself most days of the week. 😂😂

I’m going to monitor it and scan it tomorrow and see if there’s any codes logged. And try and get it to limp mode while driving tomorrow.Lol, I've had this happen after an ECU reset, the vehicle 'learns' to cope with certain parameters.
I’ll also add this discussion I think started in the other thread I made. Incase it has some details you didn’t know about my situation.Refresh my memory, what form of boost control do you have?
I have read your other thread, be aware that even though the DI and CRD share many things, there is a lot of difference ECU and control wise, yours may not like the 3", anyway for a DI I prefer 2 3/4" and it may not even like that lol.I’ll also add this discussion I think started in the other thread I made.

Ok as I mentioned in my blowby thread I do have a mountain of problems. Here’s another frustrating one for you guys. Who may be able to help me out. I have actually seen a potential answer somewhere but I’ve lost the thread and I guess the heat is getting to me.Maybe just a fresh thread isn’t...www.patrol4x4.com
As for boost control it is completely standard. No dawes or manual boost controller (yet)
As for modifications in general. Performance wise it’s completely standard. Turbo was replaced with an oem equivalent.
Egr still unblocked but it was clean so I seen no need to block it.
Standard exhaust aswell. (Looking at getting a 3 inch with a cat this summer) I feel as if I’ll run into limp problems again. However a mate with his standard crd is running fine.
An OEM "equivalent" is a worry if it comes from china, otherwise, there is nothing like the stock turbo to replace a stock turbo in a stock car. An OEM turbo cannot match 100% the original, or it would be called a "copy", which is not allowed in "western countries".
So do not be surprised if what you experience now is not what you had.
As for the 3" exhaust, I have one, stainless steel imported from Australia - very happy with it - BUT I had to control my VNT electronically to get the most out of this new exhaust : a wider exhaust means less back-pressure, and therefore you need to open the vanes in quite a different way than what the ECU does for the stock exhaust.
You will need a multi-valves arrangement then.
Thanks mate I’ll have a look at my options. In 2 3/4 this weekI have read your other thread, be aware that even though the DI and CRD share many things, there is a lot of difference ECU and control wise, yours may not like the 3", anyway for a DI I prefer 2 3/4" and it may not even like that lol.
My own hardware and software.What are you using to control your vnt ?
This has been mentioned many times over the years, there is a nylon reducer inside the genuine hose (it is still in the shed), when I first fitted a catch can I changed the hose but made up my own reducer, since then I have gone 1/2" hose between rocker cover and the catch can. Also be aware that the fitting in the rocker cover has its own built in reducer, I replaced mine with one that had 1/2" hole all the way through. It didn't make any significant difference to what I collected between service periods.Recently had an interesting comment on a video I posted.
I roughly get a cup of oil every 3k miles, which doesn't worry me, although some think it's a lot.
I was asked if I replaced the hose from engine (which I have) because factory one has a restrictions inside to limit flow to the intake....
