turbo starving?

[MySaudi]

hey guys.. just put the new turbo in on wednesday.. got pte52.. i pressed on the gas just a little today and only got about 5 lbs..
i got a .6bar(8.70228PSI) tial external, there is a 3in inlet on the turbo.. and a filter won't fit in front cuase it hits the radiator.

So what me and my dad did was made a piece that went from 3in to like 1.5

here is some pic of the metal piece..

I think it won't get the boost cuase its stiving for air?

what you guys think...

Get a 3" cobra elbow to start with.

5 psi is not your limit but you're right, you will restrict the turbo by having that inlet.

You only hit the throttle a little and you got 5 psi. What is your tune like and what happens when you open it up? What are your goals? 15 psi or 20 psi? Kind of hard to tell.

You may not suffer at all. I would reocmmend the cobra elbow if you can though. Nice improvisation. :tup:

Re: turbo starving?

well thats the thing there is no room for any elbows.. from the inlet to the radiator lines and radiator there is only about 2.5-3in..and i have to go up with the filter since i can't goto the side my battery is there.i figured it would restrict the air flow in..

the Tune is all stock tune.. but even with that i shuold still get enough boost to what i want.. even though it takes longer..
goals for now is just to get the wastegate to hold the boost about 10 psi wastegate opens at 8.7.. just wanted to make sure it would stay at that

you need the 3" cobra elbow:

You can route this to the stock crossover or to a cold air intake. If you want additional clearance from the transmission line/fitting you have added there, try this:

In regards to your boost, you need to actually floor it and let the turbo come in. You cant just give it "alittle gas" and expect full boost or even 10 psi. I would remove the air filter completely and get the boost where you want it, then add an air filter and make sure the boost does not drop.

That's exactly what I need. I had no idea that even existed? Guess I should have spent a little more time looking around here instead of fooling around with the Vibrant silicone elbows.

Perfect! :tup:

Been using one for years like many others on here. They work great:

Re: turbo starving?

imma have to order one of those.. also i put the mesh infront for now.. and it opens up at 9lbs like it shuold.. but i have my boost controler set for about 13-15 and it won't go to that.. I know i hooked it up right i looked on the syty archives to see how it was hooked up..

wondering why it won't go higher then 9 lbs now unless my boost controler is messup? or is the spring in it maybe to soft. that when it hits 9lbs that it pushes the psirng right away.. i have a 16psimax spring in my boost controler

Run a vacuum line from the compressor housing to the top of the wategate. Leave the side open and vented to atmosphere. If it boost spikes the your controller or install is questionable.

Your planning on running a PTE turbo on a stock chip? It seems like you want to run 13-15psi on PTE52, I can tell you that you don't have enough fuel in the stock chip to do that. Have you even upgraded the fuel pump or increased the fuel pressure (ajustable fuel pressure regulator)

Re: turbo starving?

Did you go with an external or internal wastegate setup? If its an internal make sure the waste gate rod is adjusted properly. When my wastegate was set too loose I couldn't make it past 10psi. Also like Mike suggested, hook the turbo compressor line straight to the wastegate or wastegate actuator. Eliminate the boost controller temporarily

yea i have a afpr set for about 45 on my gauge.. i am gonna put in the new fuel pump prolly this weekend.. i think when i bought it the guy put a new one in there.. but i have the new on upstairs here.. and i plan on running it just a little untill i get enough money to get a new chip.. not looking to boost launch anytime soon.. just tring to get the boost up to what i want it at..

Mike i will do your method when i get home

This is a very quick way to get yourself into building a new motor.

If you intend on running that turbo with a stock chip very long, plumb the WG open entirely so there's little or no boost.

Running a stock chip at anything over 4-5 psi with that turbo will kill the motor in short order. 4-5 might even be too high.
