hi everyone

can anyone tell me where the hose from the boost gauge attaches to the turbo ?

thanks

 

Most kits will supply a tee fitting that you splice into the MAP line. Where did you get yours?

 

I drilled and tapped the compressor manifold, the silverish looking aluminum Y piece that attaches to the outlet of the turbo. That's harder to get to beacuse you need to remove it, or be very careful.

 

we got it from the states, had it shipped over, and the paperwork did not say where to put it, ive put the t section on but not to sure what to cut next to put it into ?
not sure which is the map sensor and if that is where it needs to go

 

Laser1 -Welcome to FTE - Check out Diesel Manor website -Thay have instructions on their site that should help you w/ pics. Good Luck

 

thanks very much everyone for your replies, that deisel manor link solved my problem

now for the next one (LOL)
do you know the maximum psi that the motor can handle, because im thinking of adjusting the turbo for more boost

Not gonna matter if you put the Tee in the map line. You see the stock turbo will begin to defuel at about 22 psi and will be in bigtime defuel at 25. So you may need to get a boost fooler. Stock systems rarely get there until max bost under load, but can easily make 20. With intake, exhaust and tuner mods, then you need to fool the PCM. Check out the boost annihilator at ITP diesel.

 

i have a diablo chip that is currently on the 80% more horsepower setting, have modified the cold air intake. I floored it this arvo and got 28psi

 

I don't know what "this arvo" means but would like to ask where your gauge is hooked up. We have been theorizing about how tunes make HP here, and the boost relationship those tunes allow the PCM to see.

 

this arvo "this afternoon" sorry im in australia :0)

 

I knew that was gonna come out like that Laser, you still didn't answer my question though, where is your boost reading source?

 

no probs tenno, i cut the line and its hooked up to my map sensor
