Pressure Line Off Turbo

[donut_kng]

About to put in a new EBC on my GT35 setup and wondering if it matters how far the pressue feed is in relation to the turbo.

I notice on some they tap the fitting straight into the front cover of the turbo, i have mine in the intercooler piping just after the turbo elbow, say 30cmm pipe length away from the outlet of the turbo..

My question is will this affect the response/reading/signal in any way for my boost controller as i am thinking of tapping a fiting straight into the cover of the turbo if neccessary, obviously dont want to have to go to the effort if its not neccessary.

Thanks in advance

If you want the pressure reading for a boost pressure sensor, take the boost pressure from the manifold. If it is for the waste gate it is preferable to take it after the intercooler, but before the throttle body.

its the line that goes from an external wastegate to the turbo - which is bypassed by the boost controller t piece or bleed valve (whichever your weapon of choice)..

in this case im guessin your reffereing to the after cooler before the TB, why is that?

you want the BOOST CONTROLLER lines as close to the turbo outlet as possible. you want the boost controller to pick up pressure as soon as possible.

BOOST GAUGE needs to be @ at the intake manifold to read actual pressure/vac passing through the motor.

EBC's usually have 2 separate feeds. 1 for the solenoid (controller) and one for the unit to read actual pressure.

yeah, put your gauge reading close to the engine intake so you can see the actual pressure that is reaching the engine. put the boost control pressure feed near the turbo outlet to enable quick reaction. but in my experience it doesn't make a massive difference. so if it's convenient where it is now, 30cms along, I'd just leave it.
