Thanks Martin.

I wonder if it's a pressure take off

+5 Points.

Right...so why measure pressure straight out of the turbo? I assume you must still have to seperately measure manifold pressure...guess it's a way of measuring pressure drop across the charge cooler / intercooler and warns you if you have a boost leak...interesting

Do you have a second MAP sensor to use with it?

[Magic Beans]

I'm just doing some reading to see what it would be used for. The only thing I've found so far links it to the wastegate

[Chris]

It's for boost control. Should become apparent once you get the wastegate and solenoid plumbed in.

[Peter Gidden]

Correct

[ashley]

So why take your pressure line from the turbo to the waste gate instead of from the manifold? Is there an advantage?

[Magic Beans]

Actual learning in this thread, not just nonsense and pictures.

Interesting stuff

A wastegate needs fast feedback from the turbo. Taking the boost source from as close as possible to the compressor wheel ensures the most accurate boost source possible. (Check out where the stock CT26/20 actuator gets it's boost source from).

In addition, a wastegate and it's diaphragm should not see vacuum, which it would do if the boost source was at the inlet manifold. IIRC, Tial recommends the boost source should be from before the throttle plate for the same reason.

Cheers Peter- reckon I might run a tap into my turbo while I've got it off the car

[Rob B]

Looking good phil.

The question seems to have been answered.

Big install completed, car awesome, driver happy, photos tomorrow, now I eat and drink

That is all

Ey up Phil, want me to show you how to use these:





How's the polishing going?

You checked ebay yet, see if you can get an air line for your garage? More compressed air being blown over the engine than through it, I hear?

Shut it you or I'll tell you how much of a ball ache it will be to fit your chargecooler

Hey, I'll save an hour as my front bumper has already been changed and is all stainless steel fasteners

Plus I wont be polishing within an inch of their life, all the bits and pieces that come off and go back on
