Hi guys, does anyone know what air pressure the turbo runs at? Mine seems to be down on power and have measured the pressure at 6psi, is this right?
According to the boost guage, it should be just short of 1 bar say 13 psi. There is a small bore rubber pipe about 5 mm ID which runs from the injector pump to a solonoid thingy just at the bottom front of the battery( to my shame I don't know what it does!!). This pipe regularly splits at each end & results in diminished turbo boost - check this & shorten/replace & you might be right again
Thanks, The pipe you mentioned is in good order so i assume the problem with the guage/pressure lies elsewhere. I will try and rig up a seperate guage and drive the car and monitor the pressure. As for the leaks somewhere, I cannot hear and air escaping, but I have noticed that there is oil seaping out of the intercooler so for one thing the engine is breathing heavy and there must be a way for the air to get out also!!
