I have just bought a boost gauge that i need to fit to my disco.
Good Plan
I have a 03 reg Td5 engine with a waste gate that is controlled by the ECU.
YES, it is controlled by the ECU, but POWERED by compressed air almost as usual.
from what I can see the waste gate pressure comes of the input hose to the turbo.
YES ... that is correct, and the little hose goes to a small black box just above it.
therefore this hose wont get the pressure from the outout of the turbo.
WRONG!!! It gets full boost pressure - whatever is going.
If Im wright then where should i connect the boost gauge so that i am reading the output pressure on the turbo.
You are not right, so you should connect a tee-piece to that little hose coming off the main pipe, and feed the boost gauge off the tee-piece.
Can any one help?
Yes, me!
If anyone has fitted one can they post a photo.
Very difficult to get a pic!
