they stay on fine without the extra clip tbh so must be a wrong size ball if its not stock.

I had to read that more than once
Popped it onto OEM ball and it's fine....no clip though which is odd... Must have fallen out ... again odd. Anyone know if can buy the clips by them selves?
Obligatory picture...

This is running. Next step tuning and adding the happy stuff....boost and fuel.
Weird issue at 3k rpm where preinj stops. Hoping it's just rings seating in...needs miles on it. Crap to start when cold too.
EMP gauge keeps failing...keeps gunkng up despite filter in line.

Are you using the filter setup i sent you with the gauge? There was never one piece of soot that got into the post filter line with that setup, I did find the lawnmower style inline filters to be useless though

Yes pal...just for initial running I couldn't get the filter inline... Was an obvious mistake.
Got a replacement filter on the way. But have that filter now inline. Hope to clean things out post filter. Gauge works...but very slow and needle gets stuck

Just clean out the gauge fitting with some brake clean and blow it out with the compressor, will go back to normal then. No filter at all and they last about 5 mins Emp in the bottom of the filter and then the line to the gauge out the top, this lets the water condense in the filter itself and keeps everything working perfect

Gauge finally sorted .. went to Mickys to use airline. Used some machine oil.
Got a few odd issues. Cooling being one. The brand new (but cheap non OEM quality) radiator maybe at fault. Considering a 200sx one like before and improve air flow. Tried different stat/open one. .. same. It's not pressurising....just gets hot quick on a power pull.
Horrific starting. And fuel limits. Maybe connected.

Compression test today.... Not terrible, not perfect. No real figures to compare to.
Also found 3 dead glow plugs.
May have cooling system under control too.
Here is to boost control and moar fuel
