Joey Vnt control - pugtk - 21-03-2014
I've just been looking at darrenjlobb's video on joeys rebuild. So how is the vnt controlled exactly ?

With research

He explains it in there. Turn the vacuum actuator into a boost actuator and plumb it up with a manual boost controller and it works just as a wastegated turbo would, bar loads of complicated setting up.

Yea I got that in the video, but it seemed to easy... what sort of setup is involved?

The length of the actuator rod, the stifness of the spring and other bits even i dont know.

Understanding where and at what pressures the actuator opens/moves
RE: Joey Vnt control - Tom - 21-03-2014
And how far it moves...
RE: Joey Vnt control - pugtk - 21-03-2014
Is there many members running vnt?
RE: Joey Vnt control - Tom - 21-03-2014
Nope. And for good reason
RE: Joey Vnt control - Danny2009 - 22-03-2014
Id love a vnt but the setting it all up gives me a migraine
RE: Joey Vnt control - Tom - 22-03-2014
If my car wasnt my daily i would give it a go. I mean its all well and good saying that now but if i had a way to get around during the day and the 205 was just for fun i would of tried it myself. But if you rely on your car its not something you want to be getting stressy about.
