Title: Best boost Point
Post by: ein bora on May 23, 2013, 10:30:03 pm

I'm using a PD manifold along with my vnt GT2056 turbo on my gas to diesel B5 aaz project, and need to hook up a boost line for the boost can and also for a boost gauge. Not sure if it makes a difference but I'm also running a intercooler so lots of hoses and piping.  As there's nothing there now to get any boost from - where is the best location to be tapping into?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Best would be right at the race pipe for the PD mani, about where a stock 1.6/AAZ manifolds would take boost signal from as well.  Don't do it right at the turbo outlet; there's some boost lag between there and the manifold, as well as a bit of pressure drop between them as well.  So if you pulled right off the turbo you would be slightly over-fueled.
