Some Q's? 200 tdi turbo related.

[ne jones]

Ok folks need your help and advice before embarking on things.

I have just bought a boost gauge 20psi and want to know the best place to put the t-piece, is it on the pipe between turbo and actuator or the turbo pipe at the ip?

The pipes from the turbo to the intercooler and from the intercooler to inlet manifold feel soft. The first section of 'flexi' pipe from the turbo to the metal intermediate pipe expands when the engine is revved is this normal?

Now, what i've described as the intermediate metal pipe between turbo and intercooler narrows and this seems it could be restrictive to airflow. Can any power or torque be gained by replacing this pipe with a less restrictive one?

Looking forward to your replies.

mine is a tim guage and it came with a 1/8 th bsp fitting to fit it
now you can put it on the tubby where u metioned with a t piece

but i drilled and tapped my inlet manifold in the middle to get the true pressure at engine end not turbo end

hope this helps
