Are you getting boost at idle Winnie?
I will be installing my boost gauge soon, hopefully in a week. Mine is a manual 3.0Di stock, I will report back if mine produces boost or not in neutral.
Lemo.
2006 GU IV ST 3.0L TD Di
Autron Boost and EGT, Dual Bat, Dawes & Needle Valves, ARB Alloy rack, more to come.
No no where near idle, more like 3000rpm when I rev in neutral.
Yeah it's perfectly normal. Performance wise if I could have 5psi even 10 at idle then it would make for a very quick td
Completely usual mate, manual should do the same thing. My GU does
Yeah mine is a TD42 that's only why I asked. Thanks matt. Mmmmmmmm boost at 500rpm that would be good! LmaoCompletely usual mate, manual should do the same thing. My GU does
Yeh if you're revving it to 3000rpm you might start to see it flutter on a TD42, but boost should come on later so you shouldn't see near what you see on a ZD30.
:P if you were seeing boost at 500, you'd be topped out far too early!
No you should see more!! There are setups out there which can produce near on 30psi by 2000rpm on a td42 and can hold that til nearly 4000rpm. They make for a very drive able and responsive vehicle.
Nothing wrong with making boost at 500rpm (although that is a little low for a TD. Seeing boost at 1000rpm is good though and correct turbo sizing won't see you top out to early.
True! But I'm making the assumption its a stock setup.
Fair enough.
