ok here the pics, first one shows the first line going to solenoid, from pressure sens. http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z52/Gnzyza/td.jpg This one below shows, the 2 pipes lead to or from the solenoid to the turbo and actuator. Click to enlarge http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z52/Gnzyza/soleno...

theres 3 in all, one is from the boost pressure sensor(next to diagnostic port) which goes to solenoid, boost gauge is tapped into this. jus befo it meets the solenoid. And then theirs 2 more, in the pic you can see its shrouded in the silver heat insulation, they go or come from the turbo nipple, a...

thats the solenoid for the ebc, i think thats what its called. In the first pic which is marked, thats where the boost gauge is t'd in and comes from the the turbo pressure sensor (next to diagnosis port) and goes to the solenoid. The other two pipes that connect the solenoid are from 1. actuator 2....

where are you taking the boost readings from?? same location?

do you mean where the gauge is t'd in?

lolzzzz obviously yes, gimme a second and ill post a pic, coz it'll be easier than my **** explanation

jimGTS wrote:ps, where are you readings the 2 boost readings from? thought you only had one boost guage?

i was comparing From the ebc 0.6 to the aftermarket omori gauge 0.4,

those figures are when ebc in learn mode.

if i compare once complete and i have set boost to 0.8, omri shows approx 0.6ish

search "tvsv" dude, thats what im saying, theres millions of posts on it..... tvsv will pull back boost 3psi or so, so IF yours is disconnected, theres your answer as to why your running 10-11psi.... but you need to be sure it is actually disconnected either by the actuator, or the blue p...

i've searched about boost probs, but nothing specific all about removing vsv, why should i hook it back up? The car direct from japan, it had a boost gauge fitted, but was taken out. i can tell, still had the vac pipe and holes in the pillar. But i've installed a boost gauge now, and the reading is ...

thats what i was thinking, standard i think is about 13psi for the rev3. so i would thought that the actuator should hold standard boost?

OK firstly i must admit i know pretty much jack all about turbo's :oops: new to them! Ok i gotta REV3 Turboand a Greddy Profec A, which i know is old but unfortunatley im stuck with for now. Its been running ok, then i got a service done- still running ok. boost needle going to + mark. But i acciden...

nope, but was thinking too- why did you ask?

I'll check the catch can, and the pipe to see how much oil is getting through.
But i think the seals are probably starting to wear. and get worse, may take ages- who knows

do any of you guys know what sort of dollars im looking at if it comes to replacing or re-building the turbo?

If its only out by that much its something i can compensate for. just didn't want the gauge to be throwing random numbers at me and only find out when my turbo goes pop

Id check in the oil catch tank see how much oil is in there. Also take the pipe you've pulled off and put in in a coke bottle then go out for a drive and see if you get any oil in it. is that the pipe that i took a pic of, that goes to the black box (catch can) ?? 2crooky By BOV is atmospheric no s...

Here's a shot of the pic,
The needle goes down to the line. just wanted to know if i say hit .8 bar does that mean its slightly more than that?

Hi is this normal to have this build up of oil, and also from the little pipe that connects to the air intake that comes from the little black box. Turbo http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z52/Gnzyza/DSCF0069.jpg Below: Intake pipe that connects to turbo has small trace of oil. http://i193.photobuck...

have you tried FCM Motorsport??

Have you tried Interpro in Thornbury, im hoping to get my car on the dyno when he comes back from leave.
Spoke to them, they seem to know a fair bit about mr2's.

mayb some1 can add anything who's had first hand exp??

Yep thats normal on the Omori, which in fact are a very very accurate gauge. As a matter of interest, the other big names in Boost gauges get their mechanicals from Omori ;-) If you need the fitting guide for this mod drop me an email at: gtech@f2s.com.....Done loads of them and you wont have any p...
