Dump Valve & Turbo Timer

[grinder]

after a quick read up about the TT it sounds ok to install to be honest

you should have got a set of wire with a connection on either end that run from the back of the ignition

so you unplug the connecter from the ignition and put that in its place and reconnect the ignition to it ( so your ignition runs thru the turbo timer )

there is a a fly lead to the hand brake switch - if the car is running on the TT and you let the handbrake off , it kills the engine !

and thats about it

oh yeah just connect the pipe for the boost gauge !

SI - so yours reads in BAR ?? thats interesting - have you tried to power up the unit and see what happens - use a battery charger or such like to get 12V and then blow really hard into the pipe to see if it works ??

there are loads of web site that tell you how to install the things !!

er i haven\'t tried plugging it into owt recently as well it was working fine when it was on car but a few weeks back & yes positive boost was in bar & was what pointed me to my boost problem although i was told they weren\'t the most accurate devices it seems it was on the money!

im still interested in running one as just a boost gauge - got to be better than whats in now ?

[scooby_si]

i take it that\'d be nothing currently then lol anyway yes as i say it is a nice sleak little unit which gives a pretty accurate reading from my experiance so if you can fathom how to plug & play then it\'s gota be good :cool

si - so you ran a TT as a boost gauge - so it can be done .... hummm interesting !

[scooby_si]

it is a dual thing so it can do turbo timer & boost guage or merely just one of those functions if wired up to do so i presume

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH right - the way im looking at it , is if you supply it with a 12v feed and the boost pipe , then it should work OK - so how do we go about testing this theory

over to si for the low down on this !!

[scooby_si]
