Check your thermocouple polarity, should be yellow to positive (5) and red to negative (6). If you don't have those wire colours you may not have a K-type.
You may also be having ground loop issues if it's a grounded junction thermocouple and you have something else on the same power supply grounded to the chassis. You can check for that by testing the thermocouple without it touching anything else.

Thanks looks easy enough to do that's a lot more gas than I thought I'd need I guess it depends on how much pressure I use I like the idear of radial holes pointing outwards makes sence for getting a good spread

It really looking like something now I'll paint up the can after testing it to make sure I don't need to make any changes

What do you guys recermend iseing for oil? Because its a diesel turbo should i use diesel oil Normal engine oil is fine...I use 10W40 full synthetic in my 6041. If you have issues with oil pressure holding the rotor causing slow starting, try some lighter viscosity 5w30. The turbo doesn't know it's from a diesel engine😉 ...and since there's no diesel combustion particulates floating around in the oil....you should be good to go. The oil in my go-kart is still as clean as a whistle. Cheers, Smithy.
