Lol, that brings back memories....


Have you checked both elbows?, these do split and perish.

the ones on the tree at the front?

my 304 boosts to 15-16 psi and roughly around a peak of 17-18, once i had it done it was like driving a different car, you could cheack the intercooler pipes for leaks other than that buy a boost gauge they arnt very dear and connect it to the tree at the side of the throttle body

I have a aux. guage Ive fitted already that I've tee'd off the orig guage (no losses there though, Ive checked).

[Tomcat]

would it not be better off with it's own feed?. Won't you loose boost pressure to the second gauge if it's going through the original first?.

[850 Turbo Hearse]

there both tee' d off the single feed, its teed as it enters the footwell of the car. its not leaking, so there shouldnt be any loss of reading or inaccuracy should there?

[Tomcat]

Er.......not sure to be honest. I wouldn't have thought so, however to be sure I would disconnect the T and just connect the one up, then try it(best to be sure).

[matt_t5]

hmmm my vac pressure reads about 16 when on idle, i thought it should be around 20-22?

[senna]

... well [and sorry for the bttt but i've been 'away'] the car has this upgraded ECU - I bought it on my cellphone in Tesco as a shoppingboredemreliefexercise and it bloody flys now....

I'm more than happy with it, and would like to thank y'all for your inputs, opinions and cogitations.

Thanks again,

Since this post has been added to today- I will add some information that may be of use to somebody else.

I recently rang HLM and HLM does not do a 280 map for the 850 T5 Manual (At least not for a 96 Manual with A/C)

Good point mate. I only noticed it because it's been highlighted on the t5d5 forum. I haven't joined your forum,just clicked the thread that t5d5 have put up but i understand where your coming from.
