Default Someone with rs knowledge help !

right your all gona probably say "stupid idiot " but i really dont have that gooda knowledge yet about rs turbos

have just bought a nomad boost gauge and forge motorsport in car adj boost.

the kid who had this before me put a bleed valve under the bonnet,

can i just replace the bleed valve with the new boost adjuster and lenghten the pipe?

also where is the best place to plumb in the boost gauge ? is it between the actuator and the bleed valve or onto the third exit on the forge adjustable boost valve?

cheers if someone can help

Personally I wouldn't bother with the adjustable boost controller. Just learn to not be so lead footed.

Take the guage feed from one of the top pipes on the inlet fannimold. Make sure you mount it somewhere easily visible while driving you don't want to be looking at your feet thinking "Hey 20psi" cos it's usually followed by "Oh fuck!" BANG!

i got a coin cup cover for the gauge so its in a good place of view,

i only got the adjustable boost because im planning a major engine upgrade in the near future so i thought i might as well start getting the things needed.

(AND IT LOOKS NICE !!!)

just out of interest what does a standard turbo lump run at in PSI ?
