I bought a bleed valve for my workhorse, a 1998 Toyota Avensis Estate 2.0 Turbo Diesel.

Where do I put this bleed valve? There is the Turbo then a smallish black hose that runs from that to the actuator. Do I put it in between the Turbo and actuator on that hose? Also how many turns shall I turn it to, not got a boost gauge so its going to be trial and error, well I hope not error as dont want to melt my engine!!

Also!! Would an induction kit help a Turbo Diesel car? I know it may sound strange wanting to do up my Toyota Avensis Estate but the performance is dull! I have an almost new Pipercross induction kit for a Mondeo 2.0 16v hanging around in my garage which I thought I could use, and the bleed valve, well £14 off Ebay!! So if I can get around 10bhp that would be for £14!!

 

yeah in the pipe from turbo to act.. but you really do need to adjust the fuel to match. cant just turn up the boost and expect the fuel to match.

 

In the bin.

 

Oh..... are they bad?



So I cant just adjust boost and expect gains, need to adjust fuel aswell?

Excuse me if sound thick.....not the best on this kind of thing!!

 

They are also known as killer valves, more so because people just put them on, whack up the boost and say wahay this is great, then bang!! piston melted.
As said fuelling needs upping to suit increased air flow, I would save up for a chip, vastly better they really do wonders on diesels.
You can put the induction kit on but it isn't a limiting factor, so won't do anything, might sound a bit faster.
