Boost guage install help
Posted: Tue Jan 29, 2019 6:58 am
Good morning everybody,
So I spent Sunday morning coffee time browsing the net in search of a how-to for a boost gauge installation for my delica (Vera is a 1999 PE8W Chamonix.) Having what I figured was the right info and pictures I got to it but in short order found what I had found lacking. Go home, couple beers and more reading between the main three delica sites and a couple pajero sites I still cannot find the tubing between the turbo and the intake manifold. I have seen some install the "T" between the turbo and the wastegate actuator but read in a few other spots that while easy access it is not the best place to put it.
Question number two part of the reason I am looking into a boost gauge install. Where is the switch to turn on my intercooler fan and when should it turn on? I have never heard it turn on and even after I stop after running her hard, when i pop the hood with the vehicle running the fan is not on. Trouble shooting so far:
1. 12v directly to the fan and it works
2. Check fuse, OK
3. Test relay in the fuesbox, OK
4. Short the C and N/O terminals in the fuse box and the fan turns on
Thanks,
Matt
