Std set up but without the pre-cleaner.
I am looking at getting a 4" S/S snorkel but it will have to wait a bit longer now.
Some would say though, that a turbo will pull all the air it needs and a larger intake wont make much difference.... (Ask Michael at work about it - I'm not convinced though)
Well you could always do some simple test such as disconnecting the airbox. see if that helps
Alternatively seeing thats its fueled up maybe back off the fuel on injector pump however leave the same amount of boost...
Also Michael said it went to the mechanic did you check the head? i.e. compression test?
I would suggest doing some simple test before lashing out the coin, alot of guys with the turbo diesel tend to get there radiator redone with a triple bypass setup.

I'm hearing you, but I'll still take it into JPC as it will need the injectors done anyway and a good dyno tune wouldn't go astray.
Mark, at JPC, is the first person I've spoken to that is totally confidant that they'll have it all sorted out.

Johhno, 3 core rads are available for the gq, i have one, its a high quality unit. I would be suprised if a tune would totally fixes it as it may be a combination of problems. I would expect to see a very high egt problem with this to even give high coolant temps, if this is happeneing you would expect to see lots of black smoke.
Check all the basics first, get egts checked to confirm this.
