27psi is what I am running so you really should be at around 23-24 PSI with a standard turbo.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

hmmmm

would the autometer gauges be in accurate do you think

or would it matter where you tapped into the IC hoses , regarding pressure

as from pics , we went for the rubber hose , by the header tank / fuel filter area


one of the reasons for me fitting one of these was to try and economize now and then
and try and remain off boost ,

only time ive managed that is by freewheeling or in too high a gear for the speed i,e 30 -40 in 5th




cheers

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

also not sure if im panicin but in 6th when coming on and off the throttle while holding the gear stick
i can feel a slight knock / rocking type movement on the gear stick

only in 6th though


mark i also forgot that bike stand .. i will have it so tell him not to throw it out
