Thanks Rob – the manifold looks nice and velvety so it’s a relief that you think damage is limited to the turbo. I still need to clean up that gasket surface.

I don’t know about getting any boost – formerly I’ve had sail boats with little diesels and this is my first with a turbo so I don’t know what to expect! We’ve done about 100hours and chug along at 7knots on 1400rpm which is the most comfortable for the family. I tried the boat at WOT when we first got it, but it only added another couple of knots.

Mike, original exhaust setup attached as photos – the top of the white lift box thing is about an inch above water level!

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Gents – great clear advice as usual, I’ll get right on it.

Thanks Rob, did exactly what you said and it seems the required volume is 3 litres.

To contribute to the pile of conflicting information I’ve attached the how-to sheet I’ve been using. Apart from the wrong volume of fluid, it was quite handy….

Thanks Rob and Bill – sounds like 30-10-10 is the go. I went down the boat and sorted that out this morning. Thanks for your help.
