Turbo Mini Forums

i have fitted my dump valve but its not working right. it is conected to the plenum chamber and the hose on the end is t pieced to my boost guage, and the other end goes to a 5 mm tube on the inlet. when i start the engine the boost guage goes down, then into the vacume part and then i rev the engine the boost guage goes up and the dump valve opens and then closes when i let off, pleas can some one help me

you should nto connect it to your boost gauge, have it connected to it's own hose tail going to your inlet manifold

right ok i will give it a go then let you know

right done that and still the same, it is like the inlet is sucking the dump valve open, what do you suggest

it will do a bit, but when you blip the throttle the dump valve should close / seal

Team Racing

right im not getting any noise. is a 5 mm hole in the inlet too big for it

as pistons stuck in air/fuel causes vac ie gauge drops , blip throttle and gauge rises to 0 or just above , lift off and what litle boost you had causes DV to open and so on , or something like that

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

not ideal, but it should still do the job

Team Racing

right ok so what is the problem i think something is not working correct

if every time you blip throttle it goes vac, boost , pop or woosh thats right

Everyone knows that instructions only have to be read if the thing doesn't work....

i dont think it is doinf either of those,

just to get it right, the pipe that used to go to the ecu is no going to my bleed valve is this ok

No.
Check the 'how to' section...

i looked at that, and i was a little confused. it said remove the t piec that goes between the regulator and the plenum. when i got my turbo unit i hade coming of the t piece that was on the actuator, a pipe going to the actuator and the other pipe went to no ware. can someone help

why did you say "you should nto connect it to your boost gauge, have it connected to it's own hose tail going to your inlet manifold "

are you saying that the boost gaugue cannot use the same take off as the dump valve ??

now I am worried

On my car

I have the brake servo union as standard met turbo, then the one way valve on top of that that used to feed the breathers ; I have drilled out and my Boost Gaugue and Dump valve connect here

Am i an ARS ?

Nope you rnot an arse...

But there are better ways to set your car up!!

Ditch the breathers for a start, just vent them to atmophere!

The boost gauge and DV should opperate off seperat lines, otherwise they can interfeer with each others opperation!
