hi been working on the car most of the day it now goes alot quicker

 

but.....

 

ive found a few things wrong with it

 

1 drivers side dump valve is not working

2 passenger side turbo leaks water

3 a wierd pipe that i dont no where it goes see pic

 

so with the water leaking from the turbo does that mean the turbo is knackerd

 

and why isnt the drivers side dump valve working is that where my boost leak is from ??

1. Either a boost leak just before the Dump valve, or the internal piston is seized. Also check if its got an adjustment screw, it could be wound in too tight.

 

2. If your loosing water from the turbo then its going to be the water inlet or outlet pipe, maybe just loose and needs tightening or could be a split. You run the risk of loosing too much water and overheating the engine and cooking the headgasket. Turbo Waterleak wont cause Turbo failure, it could reduce turbos lifespan though.

 

3. Looks like the pipe was for a Boost gauge or Boost controller thats since been removed.

Get rid of the dump valves. Best thing you could possibly do with them! :)

i took the dump valves off and cleaned then all up and oil'd them them both move up and down is the adjustment screw the one on the top where the little pipe joins

 

so the turbo is alright then its just a pipe that needs replacing ?

 

as for the pipe that will be ok with a bolt init for the time being

Yeh, that should be the adjustment. Would be worth investing in a boost leak detector. You can get then from czp.us

 

Keep an eye on your water levels.

 

You'll want to check that its definatly a vacumn pipe, as its possible it could be a oil or water pipe for an old mechanical gauge. Check what it is, and if its not leaking then its fine for now.

yea i will do and i will put a bottle of water in the car

 

where does the little pipe go as i followed it up and then couldnt see where it went ??

Excuse me, his name is FungleBumpkin. Not Si :D

usually connects to the balance bar or a pic coming connected to a pipe comming from the balance bar (metal tube across the top of plenum)

 

check those pipes i spoke of the other day, under the inner two pipes

yea them to pipes are connected up first thing i checked here are some pics i took of the problem areas and istill carnt find where the wire in pic 2 goes
