turbo.... Any advice appreciated

[tyreburner]

Use the hose off the dump valve, just fit an inline restrictor to it so you don't pinch all the pressure for the guage...

eh in line restrictor????? lost me sorry, i have though pinched the pipe for the guage from work and may have a t piece to fit????
cheers
for the advice

you wont need a resticter mate the volume of air in the pipe is negligable considering at 200bhp your car will be using 280-300cubic feet of air every min then a few ccs in the boost gauge wont matter

Thanks
so i use the small pipe in the top of the dump valve ?
cool
boost guage in tomorrow i think.

200 bhp interests me how easily is this available?????????

from the replies to this thread i have read this car seems to be a similar (in principle) but lesser powered rover 600 ti as that is wasted spark and progressive boost also ..... didnt understand it then and dont understand it now but hey i can memorise it and spout it off to people and look good

I used a T piece to start with and my boost was affected quite alot due to the vaccume level being so low that the bov was creeping open, most gauges ship with a plastic T piece that has a brass restrictor pressed into the gauge outlet, as a matter of due course I would advise that you do get one of these fitting kits / T-Pieces
