"to be intercooled? or just low boost?
Rudy WROTE:
"keen to hear updates frank
Doom WROTE:
"When it's finished il give you $200 for it
frank2 WROTE:
"and i.ve already spent £40 of it lol
Tyrie WROTE:
so you've got ~$39 to complete the build... good luck!

spent £45 now lol (pipes from our local asian scrapyard) and i have to include the £20 QG injectors and CG rail really, so even a boost gauge would break the budget ! (gonna have to run without one)
gotta select the right strength of piggyback actuator spring now, for the desired 5 psi
Tyrie WROTE:
lol well according to xe.com you have 30cents left in your budget

ToToL WROTE:
i don't understand the spring+wastegate,the wastegate open before 5 psi without the spring?or beyond?

"Hahahaha that balloon!!! Epic! Love the backyard tuning! Keep up the good work!
(would love to see it on a dyno for result…)

"and i found out why cyl #1 had no compression from day 1 too !
Rudy WROTE:
whats the go with them valves, I ask cause i lost #1 cylinder the other day, its not spark, will test injector 2nite, after that it will have to be compression tested to determine valve damage, I hate it when my car is sick
RTK WROTE:
"There goes your $100 turbo conversion haha
uk_facelift WROTE:
Also, when are you going to be back up and running?
uk_facelift WROTE:
"Looking good frank
Thanks for the illustration about the mini vacuum, think I understand what your doing now, still seems a little excessive, any thought's about a turbo diesel boost compensator(if thats even possible)?
frank2 WROTE:
"
if you mean the vacuum controlled actuator matt ? some diesels use the brake vacuum pump and reservoir to control the boost (via the ecu) so you only have to fit the pressure controlled actuator instead eh (the rod pushes out instead of pulling in) and reverse the arm too eh
frank2 WROTE:
"i think thats for the old (pre-commonrail) injector pump matt ? so that it delivers extra fuel during boost (rather than solely via the throttle cable eh)
uk_facelift WROTE:
How's the mini vacuum device coming along, you onto a winner?
