Title: boost problem
Post by: sophie23_98 on May 16, 2004, 03:27:41 PM
hi just a quick question i have just started with a boost problem it is loosing air pressure when reaching about 6.5 on the boost and the 2nd turbo doesnt seem to be kicking in.
i have check all the hoses today had all off and changed all the jubilee clips they all seem ok, as anyone any sugestions please i want to get it right for rotostock.

Hiya,
Check your  little vacuum hose\'s, i.e. if one has pulled off or is split, particularly have a look at the small triangular plastic box [ middle of engine under throttle cable ] where there are three pipes, one directly controls the second turbo.
BTW if you are not making enough boost on the first turbo, the second won\'t come in.

 Somewhere out on the site l have put boost and vacuum diagrams that show all these pipes and their functions.

Favorite one is the Boost pipe that connects straight on to the inlet [drivers side] if you can hear air.
