That one between the boost sensor and the copper/brass suppressor? Quite probably added that one as an extra precaution.
Somewhat. Those relays you can see control the rad fan, (ditched the viscous fan). That copper/brass jobbie is the suppressor for the sensor.
The thing bolted to the side of the air box? That's the VSV, (from an Isuzu), which controls whether the boost pressure sensor is in circuit or not. It effectively enables/disables turbo mode. VSV off, no pressure ever reaches the sensor, so the engine works more akin to a NA engine, (exempting the fact that the turbo is still physically dragging air through the sysytem, but there's no extra fuelling applied for it).where your boost pressure sensor is, what is that think infront of it where more pipes go to
Those two hoses going through the inner wing go to the vacuum resorvoir. It's mounted in the offside wheel arch. You'll see a canister about 6" in diameter if you look in your wheel arch. That's the reservoir.also the pipes that go into the drivers wing, where do they go? im really thinking of this now as im loosing boost pressure and have cracks in pipes going everywhere.
Thanks...that makes sense. I get it now. Will get some hose from ebay.
None that I've noticed, consumption wise. Performance wise, definitely. You're actually driving by pedal on acceleration rather than having the extra oomph thrown in by the turbo. Very large hills and overtaking on motorways are about the only time I enable it, so it's very rarely used.
I would be wise to sort out the blue smoke problem before adjusting, modifiying or tweaking anything else.
