Getting more poowwwaaaaa!!

[Dum-Dum]

I reckon itll be the pipe off the turbo.

Is your boost gauge actually accurate?

[Tom]

I have no idea i just bought a cheap one on ebay lol
is the pipe easy to get off?

[4WayDiablo]

its a bit of a bitch to get to that pipe, take off the airbox intake side of things from after the BMC round to filter and get into it from that way easiest ive found

[Tom]

So reaching down the back of the engine and feeling for the jubilee?

[4WayDiablo]

youll be able to see it might need a torch or something but its there

[Tom]

Ahhhh ok will pull that off when i get some time this week, inbetween getting the exhaust done :p

[declantg]

Could the pipe from the turbo itself be loose?

[Dum-Dum]

I have no idea i just bought a cheap [boost gauge] one on ebay lol

This could be your issue, my last HDi had a cheap ebay gauge and it was reading 21psi but actually only making 17.5psi so thats about 15% out no reason why it couldnt be your gauge being partly to blame.

[4WayDiablo]

So dum how can you tell what it is actually making as opposed to what the guage says?

buy a half decent one? ..

[Tom]

Anywaay lets not go off subject here.. I had that pipe off today from the turbo to the intercooler and nothing looks fine to me bar 2 little nicks but im pretty sure they were my fault anyway pictures to follow

[Tom]

[Tom]

[declantg]

they are in better condition than mine are mate, should be fine

[Tom]

Balls.... I didnt think it was bad either just in my mind i wanted that to be the problem so i could fix it and have power lol.... gotta go put it back together yet and i dropped a jubilee down the back of the block somewhere

[declantg]

I know this feeling bud dont worry, will all be sorted soon so keep at it

[Tom]

We're running out of pipes to check haha

[declantg]

Have you checked your inlet manifold?

[Tom]

What you mean by check lol i tightened all the bolts i could get at :/

[declantg]

Has it got a gasket on it?

[Tom]

Yes i can see its got a gasket.

[declantg]

Have you got a top mount or a fmic, cba to scroll up

[Tom]

I have a top mount... the d seal is air tight im sure of that the only things left are:
That pipe wasnt sealed around the turbo properly
I just tightened the end manifold bolt a whole turn could of been that
or it could be my extremely bodged up T for my boost gauge

[declantg]

If its your boost gauge T piece you will be hissing like a b*tch.

More than likely if the pipe wasnt sealed on to the turbo properly then there you will be gushing out boost

[Tom]

It does hiss....

[declantg]

have you put clamps on the t piece?

[Tom]

Yes but i dont have a proper T i hose that goes to the gauge is bodged with cable ties and electrical tape...
You reckon i could get a 6mm silicon hose over an 8mm pipe??

[declantg]

Yeah, heat it up a bit then stretch it over

[Tom]

Right all back together went for a drive and no change :cry: so new T piece and new hose on the way so i can rule that out then we'll see whats happening :/ silly peugeot

[Dum-Dum]

So dum how can you tell what it is actually making as opposed to what the guage says?

When they plug it in on the dyno as the one on the dyno is calibrated.
