gt28rs actuator hose, connects where?

[midge]

on the other turbos ive had it connects to the hosing, where do i connect this?



and is this oil restrictor fitted the right way? the other end is flat no domed

[Justin..]

it needs to be connected as close to the turbo as possible you'll need a hose tail end to connect it too. I'll post a pic later when i'm home showing what i did. And yeah the oil fitting is the right way round

cheers justing, on my t25 theres a connection bit on the housing, on this there isnt one, im just confused to where it connects to? am i going to have to make a hole?

[Justin..]

My name doesn't have a G at the end



Here is what I've done

[Coops]

mine has it tapped straight onto the turbo housing itself

tap it into the manifold, this way you'll actually get the desired boost at the manifold, this will mean higher actual boost at the turbo outlet so reducing life a bit.

use a steel pipe for any long runs

[Coops]

i run the actuator off the turbo to reduce messy pipework all over the bay and simply take the boost gauge feed off the inlet so set the actuator off that reading

spoke to my good friend Vince today and his going to taek it back and tap it for me (his organised parcel collection for tommorrow)

Only messy if you don't do it right, other benefit is you get a decent bit of overboost on accel with it referenced to the manifold
