I just had some Defi's fitted the BF kind and I dont think summits right
When you look at the gauge as ye driving it sorta stutters then flys up as you accelerate. This is on a WRX 04 plate. Now usually I would have expected the reader for the boost to be fitted to the rubber pipe of the blow off valve on the front of the intercooler via a T-Piece on the right hand side as you stand and look at it from the front, but the T-Piece has been fitted on the left hand side just above the turbo
Is this wrong???????????

 

I'm not able to lOOk at the gauge as i hit full boost. Eyes about a mile in front.

Can have a lOOk tonight, but i'm sure someone will pipe up before then.

 

Sounds right to me mate, T piece left hand side as you look at the engine. who fitted it for you???

 

was guys at APP. Not calling them into question I was just expecting it to be a smooth operation and it doesent seem that way. So if its fitted correctly why does it seem as though it stutters then whooshes up?

 

maybe be a split in the hose!?!?

 

As above could be a splitt, take it back and let them know, they sound like good lads there, and i.ve heard they are real helpful

 

No split, just had a look at the little black bo thing thats in the engine bay it was slightly facing to the side and the manual says it should be level with the hole facing down so I have moved it so it is sitting straight

 

I fitted my defis on the wrong pipe and it did the same. I think I fitted mine on the return to the actuator? (not a techi so not exactly sure hence why it was wrong)

it sounds similar to where I put mine.

APi re did mine when it had the engine work. if its still a problem I will take a photo of mine tom and post it up for you.

 

On a newage they are usually T's off the vacuum pipe from the dumpvalve as per pic.

 

Thats how I woulda done it but its been done on the otherside of the intercooler where there is a similar sorta thing above the turbo and i think thats wrong

 

Scousefly is your's a classic or a newage??

 

Mr fly

glad to hear you got it sorted matey,i hope i was of some limited help

I did exacly the same when i fitted my first ever boost gauge(a nice £15 jobbie from japan),t-pieced it into the pipe on the left with the pipe joiner already there DOH!,then bought a set of defi's and fitted them right,oh joy dont they look the nuts when up and running

gonna have to get another set for the 07sti me thinks

mark

 

a newage mate. Ethanrob gonna do the right fitting tonight whilst its quiet(nightshift)
went and bought some more pipe just in case and some little clips just need to let engine cool down now the guy at scoobymania burnt his hand and I had to do my best not to laugh But he was also helpful

 

The joy's of defi's eh

I'll have to get some more sorted myself
