Bit puzzeled as never seen this before. Have got a single port actuator but the tubing goes from the actuator into the side of the turbo near the intercooler pipe, instead of down to the bottom of the carb.

Should I leave it like this and block the tubing at the bottom of the carb? or change it from the side of the turbo to the bottom of the carb?:confused:

what turbo unit is it.?

id run a pipe from the carb to actuator.

you could then block the port at the side of the turbo or use it as another place to plumb a gauge in to measure the boost pressure the turbo is producing.

think thats right:scratch: :)

its a stage 1 hybrid from turbo technics.
yeh that sounds good to me, i will run it from the actuator to carb base, then get a boost gauge plumbed in too.
cheers.

You can keep it the way it is and block off the carb outlet, it doesn't matter...

come to think of it, your not wrong:D would this effect the spool up in any way.?

Apparently, it gives a better response to the actuator, if you're running a single port. Although the twin port actuators were said to be better at controlling peaking as the 2nd port acted as a counterbalance... That's old info though...
