Hi everybody...

I need a help..

I connected boost gauge but at idle it shows -20. And also I use the car on the road the gauge only shows 1 psi. Is it my boost? Can dump valve works in this boost?

Thanks for any advice...

 

I'd investigate this further by trying a different guage. If the car hasn't been setup or tuned for a long time it's possible the actuator has gone soft (very for 1psi). Does the guage definately read boost in psi and not bar?

Don't bother with the dumpvalve from experience they do nothing but cause problems on teh Escort RS Turbo due to the metering head.

 

Yes it hasnt setup for a long time. My dump valve is working.My gauge reads it in psi.But it cant pass 1 psi in 3rd gear. My gauge is also new..

 

My car have same problem, when I connect boost gauge after intercooler, on aluminium thing, I have only + boost about 0.6 bar, but when I connect it to vacum (inlet mainfold) I have vacum and boost only 0.2

 

Can you post a pic of where you've plumbed it into?

 

ass above piks of it being plumbed in because it sounds like u havent put it to the inlet manifold wear u would get a true boos reading because the air is not in a gatherd space

 

read the posts in this thread?

are they a piss take?

 

I was guessing by the English they could be foreign. It's good to help our foreign neighbours

 

lol

 

Iam a foreigner. Thanks for help.

I connected it the right hand side of the inlet manifold with a t piece near the dump valve's t.

It doesnt go up then 1 psi..


Advise please...

 

what gauge is it ?

 

ok here is the pic



I connect boost gauge to hose 2.

hose 3 going to fuel pressure regulator.


IS THIS CORRECT "WIRING"?

I bought gauge 3 days before, new, Autogauge.

tnx

 

i havent seen it doen like that befor

 

Gauge is new.JSV marked.
I connected it to the hose coming from ECU.
Amal Valve's hoses are in correct order.
It reads 2 psi on the road.

Dump Valve and vacuum side of gauge are working after throttle.

New advice?

 

do you hear click when you turn ignnition on? If amal valve click it iis ok but go open the bonnet and see if amal valve doing constant clicking.
