In all fairness I didn't do it on purpose. But I was bloody lucky :lol: I just popped it into the roundabout a little fast and let go of the throttle and it slid out... dunno how I caught it :lol:

That pressure line is the turbo fuelling advance thingy isn't it?

An air-cooled gauge eh? :cheesy: I like what you've done it's kinda cool, and I bet it's interesting to see the various pressures going on.

It really is interesting because even without full throttle at 3000rpm I can make 15psi. But also at full throttle at 2500rpm I can make 15psi. Peak boost seems to be 16psi at 3000rpm in 4th. It’s also interesting how you can make decent progress but only have 6-10psi or even less. Not only that I do a quite abit of engine braking and as the revs go up even with no throttle so does the boost.

Oh and that pipe sends the pressure to the fuel pump which them enables a little man in the engine with a bucket to pour fuel into the cylinders :)

I believe 'boost compensator' is the term we're looking for here :P

So when you press the pedal this guy, Alan, gets a prod to work a bit faster with the old bucket of Diesel :)

I suppose as he gets older he gets 'less responsive' to throttle inputs :lol:
