(10-31-2014, 09:37 AM)Simpler=Better The best bang for the buck (after doing valve adjustments, injector service, timing, etc.) is to get a pyrometer installed pre-turbo, boost gauge, and a manual boost controller. Then turn up the boost to 13, and tweak the pump internals.
All stuff I had in mind. I have a pyrometer and boost gauge leftover from my d50, along with a manual/adjustable boost controller.
Valve adjustment is at the top of my list, my friend gave me a bunch of new gaskets with the engine in case I ever needed them and recommended adjusting the valves. It also appears to have brand new injectors and glow plugs. The MW pump looks fairly fresh too, with a tag attached to it (didn't take a close look yet) and fresh paint covering every bolt (anti-tampering seals perhaps?)
