Boost Gauge....where Do I Connet It To?

[pugpaul 1]

I bought a Toyota Avensis 1998 2.0 Turbo Diesel as a run about. Ideal for my dogs

 

Anyway! I have decided to up the boost.....thing is I now have a boost gauge and have not a clue in where to connect it to. Its a mechanical injection, like the 205 Diesel Turbo, 309 and 405's.

 

I recently joined a Toyota forum and put this question up. 129 views and not one reply

 

 

Can anyone help me, any ideas on where I can put a T piece so I can connect my boost gauge?

any boost hose will do, most common one is the pipe to the fuel pump boost enrichment capsule.

 

which one that is on an avensis I haven't a clue on a 306/405 its the pipe off the front of the intercooler to the fuel pump.

Tried working out where the pipe from intercooler is.......cant find it

 

 

I think I can put it in the hose where the bleed valve is going. Thats a hose from the actuator to the Turbo.....but would a bleed valve and a boost gauge both T piced into one very small hose work?

Is there a small vacuum hose going from the throttle body?

the thin pipes to the gold discs are connected to the inlet, because they are vacuum/boost diphrams, but one has a non return valve on so if you're going to use that one be sure to use it on the inlet side of the non return valve becuase i'm assuming it is there to prevent boost hitting the diphram (but could be the other way round.

 

otherwise follow them back to their origins and see if you can find a better one to use.

 

if all that fails find the turbo and tap into the feed for the wastegate actuator (if it has one)
