Alright guys,
I am planning on fitting an intercooler on my HDi soon. One thing I am wondering about is how is best to pipe in the wastegate actuator.
I won't be upping the boost just yet but my idea is as follows.
Leaving the pipe work as is would mean that the actuator relies on the pressure seen on the outlet of the turbo (Which is probably assumed not to drop much between there and the intake on the stock setup)
However when I add an intercooler and all the extra pipework, should I move the actuator pipe input to the intake manifold for example? That way it will take into account the pressure drop across the intercooler etc and keep the boost at the same value as before the intercooler was fit. Theoretically then I would be getting the same boost pressure as I am currently, but with a much cooler denser air.
Thanks guys,
Jack
