Think about it logically...

When you're on boost, the throttle plate is obviously fully open. So the inlet manifold, and all the way back to the turbo compressor, is all open, and therefore all at the same charged air pressure.

So it shouldn't matter where, along that whole tract, the boost reference take-off is, for the BCS.

In theory, at least.


DISCLAIMER:
I have never actually done it myself, so please, if you do do it, don't hold me to account if things go **** up.

Actually that did make a lot of sense..

I have one unused/blocked spot on the inlet pipe, so ill try that out. Thanks!

If you Google it, you'll see diagrams and white papers pertaining to said schematic. For piece of mind, like.

So I did end up enlargening the old nipple with some heat + forging and attached it back with some proper violence + chemical metal. After that got a major boost leak and the car sounded like a supercharged one. After one day of banging my head against the wall, found out that it was my dump valves seal that was leaking. New bolts + made a new seal out of a Klingerite sheet = Problem solved.

Maybe now I can drive a quarter tank again.. and then spend a week mending the *******, again.

So, went for a little ice track ride. Was glorious even with just normal studded winter tires. I want spike tires so bad. Oh well..
Sadly the lake track was all ice and little snow, so no grip at all, but you can't always have everything..

I may have to post some more material, the event was today and there were alot of cameras..

Don't know why that above changed url does not work, but hope this does. Did a compilation of one of the guys phones videos.

Shakal

So I'll just leave some of these here.






There must really be something wrong with my car. Saw alot of pictures of the event and almost in everyone my front is not facing where I am going..

That looks like a lot of fun. Good to see the car running well too!

Shakal

Well it worked very well. One time the power steering pump made a nice loud noise, after a decent S-curve sideways. Sounded like it took some air

Anyway, when I packed my stuff and started my way home, the car started to overboost, again.

Well this time, it didn't take too long to find the problem:



The turbo actuator T-piece. Seems like it did not like my driving.

I always thought I'd like to live in Scandinavia. This thread is just confirming it.

Shakal

Yeah just remember to bring your car with you.

Car prices here are bonkers, thats why I imported my Impreza from the UK
