Boost sensor in new hoses

[TopCat]

Hi chaps,

I've got a boost sensor out of my original boost hose, but how do you fit it to a new samco/sfs type hose? I've got a hole in the new hose for it but its way too big.

Any ideas of how it's fitted?

Cheers

New hoses have between zero and any mix of up to three outlets from memory (in addition to the main boost run obviously).

0. i.e nothing
1. over-boost outlet (which I assume has a threaded brass insert)
2. plain d/v outlet
3. plain perc fan outlet (or whatever that one connects to)

Put up a pic of the hose TC. Let's see which holes you've got. :D


Edit - IIRC there were two types of over-boost switch early/later, adjustable/non-adjustable. I can't remember if they have different sized fittings. It's possible.

Just to add to what Trev said, the over boost switch only goes in the shorter boost hose of the two, I.e. from turbo to intercooler. :)

Ooh, blinkin' eck, of course! :o

D'oh. Scrap what I said TC, it's garbage, lol.

So that is what's on the smaller hose, I take it phase 1 s never had it then ?

[Trevhib]

My early phase 1 had an over-boost sensor Dre.

Suppose no one stuck one on when putting the samco hose on then mate
I want to put a dump valve on to help with spool as at the moment you can here the air going back and it's no good for turbo really. I don't want it to loud though I have a re-curculatin dv on my Audi and it's not in you face just the way I like it

Yeah, I imagine your car had the over-boost set-up when it had the original boost hoses :agree:

As with a lot of things on the GTT, they are useful but not necessarily essential.

Some of them were adjustable, so could be used for things like water/methanol injection set-ups. i.e. when the boost reaches a certain level the over-boost switch (now being used in a different way), could make the water injection system fire.

Hi all,

It is the smaller hose Trev, it has the it out but not the thread for it. It's all been sorted out now, sfs forgot to put the metal fitting in for it- they've said they'll ship it out foc :)

[Trevhib]

:agree:
