Questions from slobbo !!
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi, You answered a few questions for me before and I hope heres a few more. I just got a turbo boost gauge and when I rev up the engine it goes minus up to about 8 minus. When I am driving along it goes to the plus side. Next, in the photos I am sending you there is a hose that is wide open. One end goes to the carb. What is this and where should the ends go? Thanks for the help. This is new to me and I can't find an explanation of how the turbo should look and what should be hooked up to what. I really don't know what I'm looking at. All the best, Slobo

If you click the pics they get bigger

Supprised it runs like that

I think on the top pic the pipe should be going to the fuel regulater

On the bottom pic that is where the anti run on valve goes which is not really imprtent as long as its blocked off like it is

My boost gauge says about -15psi on idle

To name but two of many...

You're going to have a vacumm on idle as the turbo isn't producing any positive pressure or boost.

I'd say the blocked off pipe is the throttle lean off have a look
