So I've been on here a while, seen some good info, thought it was about time I started a build thread on what I've done to my rig. So this is what it started at.

I picked up an old alloy tray off a bloke at work, shortened it to fit, then got some led tail lights off ebay and fitted them. I also fitted a fuel filter to the breather on the fuel tank, and secured the fuel filler to the tray with a piece of sheet metal.

I then brought a 2-way, fitted it, ran the ariel cable though the rubber grommet on the back of the cab. Whilst I was doing that, i tidied up my wiring, fitting a fuse box on the extra positive lines coming off the battery.

Fitted a chip, the black one off ebay, seems to work well, but I set it as high as it could go. I also adjusted the actuator arm, shortening it, on the vgt turbo. Currently I'm running that without the muffler, just waiting for a cat back 2.5inch exhaust to show up. Goes ridiculously well now, fully loaded it can slip a wheel, empty it and nothing yet can keep up.

Changed when boost started, and when it peaks by the feel of it, it seems to boost faster and harder, then evens off sooner, but much more driveable in my opinion. But as for exact figures, I don't have a boost gauge fitted. But it still runs on factory boost settings, and hasn't tripped any codes on the computer yet. Less lag too.

Well I've just traded my triton in on a Holden Colorado. It's been good looking at what people have done to their tritons, and i'll probably still check in on what's happening around the place.
