I have just wired my boost gauge and installed in the a pod, but worried about what pipe to 'T' into under the bonnet??

Is it the one from the bailey dump valve to the manifold,

or the pipe from the turbo to the daws devise??

(its a 98' Classic 2000 turbo)

Prob a really simple question, but just wanted to make sure!

 

i used the one to the maps sensor and it workes just fine mate

 

Im a newwie to this turbo game!!! ...Where?

 

look on the drivers side under the bonnet you will see 2 valve things with a pipe that goes back to the inlet manifold just before in goes in the manifold i cut it and fitted the t pice there i will try and fined a photo and post it up

 

ile have a look!! ...Thanks!!

...Photo would be AMAZING!!

 

if you look in the middle near the throtal you can see a blue pipe with a white t pice and a black pipe comes off it thats where i put mine and the maps sensor in shown to

i hope this helps

 

Oh Great, Thank you!!

 

And a close up..



Map sensor is the red and black thingy at the top.

 

when you first get the pipe on there should the air be sucking thru the pipe when the engine is ticking over???

 

if you have nothing on the pipe yes thats your vacume which the boost guage should show you when connected

 

Ummm, yeah. With a disconnected pipe at tick over it should suck air in as it will be in negative pressure. Only when the turbo is spooling up wil it be in positive pressure.

 

Beat me to it.

 

easier to take it off the manifold

i love your user name

 

i took mine from the vacuum hose going to the dumpvalve as this was the closest vacuum to the gromet which I used

 

i used a spare nipple on the inlet manifold. took off the little rubber cap and put the boost gauge tube on, couldnt be simpler mines a 98 also.

Same here... is it accurate enough?
