    Fitting Turbo

    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?

    Re: Fitting Turbo

    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

    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...

    Re: Fitting Turbo

    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...
