changed my boost pipe from the black pipe to the red pipe, as you can see the bore of the red pipe is smaller

question is will this reduce my max boost level

restricter and t connector still fitted

MY01wrx

 

Well all fixed,
fitted original pipes back on,
boost has gone from 0.7 bar red hose to 0.9 bar original hose

 

Fuz,
glad you updated this thread i've got the red hose so maybe i should change it too.. only thing is i don't have a boost gauge so i don't know what boost i'm running at the mo or if its gona make a difference hopefully get me guages during week

 

The smalled ID pipe would cause a boost drop as it would effectively decrease the 'bleed' to the solenoid and act as a restrictor consequently flowing less 'bled' air causing the actuator pressure to rise easier therefore reducing boost.

you will like this

I havn't got a boost gauge fitted yet, we used a pneumatic gauge 0-3bar, fed it through the scoop using some spare red pipe and cable tied it to the winscreen wiper

car is totally transformed, how it should be

roll on next rolling road day in january

 

PMSL - good improvisation though

 

lol

 

Sounds like the sort of bodge job I'd do...! Nice one.

 

Fuz,

LOL

You need some guages with the stuff I know you've got planned!!!
