Title: Boost problem solved
Post by: Clarky on February 12, 2008, 12:36:07 PM
Found my first boost problem, ie no boost on second turbo, the culprit, the check valve on the pressure chamber, thing is it was a fairly new check valve, so even new valves can go faulty.

Mine is doing the same thing I think!
Only 0.5 Bar on second turbo?

Where is the check valve? How much do they cost?
What is the pressure chamber?

pressure chamber is mid right on the diagram.  Its loacted almost exactly in the middle of you engine bay, just behind the strut brace. usually black, plastic, approx 6" across, 2" deep. has 2 small pipes/hoses coming off it.
