boost problems

[threedogs]

Just had a look all 3 connected first goes back into box behind sensor middle one with round green filter goes to turbo via Dawes and third goes across front of motor under engine cover

joined the 3 vac hoses with a TEE, then blocked the vac solenoid with a loop of vac hose etc , drives smooth as now, just need to stretch the DAWES spring a tad to produce more boost big THANKS to BOOTS over this Problem

Glad to see you got it sorted. I'm going to to RPWallis today to get me some real clamps for my truck. You kinda inspired me to do something about it.

Nah its now very sluggish off the mark, boost only gets to 10psi with no spikes with spring stretched, getting frustrated now. I've disconnected the battery for a while to see if that does anything, not hopefull

Took it for a drive boost only got to 5psi with high egts as would be expected, no power at all.

theres a lot of imfo on here regarding boost and egts
see if you can find chaz yellowfoots thread on boost controllers

Thanks been following that, today blocked the 3 outlets on the vac solenoid as per his pic, dawes fitted as his pic, 3 vac hoses tee'd together. can't see where I've gone wrong

[Sir Roofy]

maybe when you streched the spring it mightbe to tight and not adjusting properly
the ballbearin mightbe jammed in the housing

I'll check that as there are similar chats regarding that. did not stretch spring much ,gee its frustrating and all because I had the alternator changed

take your lappy out with you and double check again other wise it must be the dawes
have you got the needle valve open to much try closing that

[threedogs]

No needle valve yet, next week I hope, forum member is coming over to sort it out then I'll see where I've gone wrong
