I'm no expert on the physics of flow and pressure, but I would think that regardless of length (to an extent), once a tube has been filled with air or fluid, then changes in pressure should be near instantaneous at either end?

Alvin?

Think of it this way..do you want air pockets in your brake lines?

some fluids are very im-compressible so yes the pressure change would be near instant.

something more compressible ie air, it's going to take more to impact it, your going to have to change the pressure of a much greater volume so I would expect lag to increase.

plus same goes with zorst gases getting to turbo they have to travel more distance.

But in having more distance to travel there is also restriction too, so whatever detriment it gives to spooling the turbo, it could help with the engine building up RPM too?

It is external gate...

As the turbo is 4-5M back from the engine it shouldn't get too hot, there will be a heat shield over it all, and hopefully carpet back over the lot. I have to test it with an infra-red thermometer on the dyno first.

Lol something about a turbo sealed in the boot makes me feel uneasy.

That is going to be a lot of heat and no doubt the hot air will enter the cabin area.

Cut into the floor of the spare wheel bay and set up some cold air feed

i'd say there should be a little lag with regards to spool but, nothing serious. 4-5m isn't that long. As air is a compressible fluid, at even at scotty's 45psi, that just resolves to 3bar, which does nothing for compressibility, so there will still be an effect, though, pipe length is a lot less of a factor than a restriction.

But theoretical vs physical, i still think scotty should give it a try.

Don't worry, I will be. :P

The turbo won't be laggy, the engine should have the .82 rear GT35 pushing 20psi by around 2.5k, but it may not be as responsive as it would be hanging off the manifold...

The piping up and back is 2.5 inch so not too much area to fill.

Haha, days off important too :P. What is not good is when you take days off, and then unexpected events mean you can't go on days you were planning to go !

Also gotta figure out if it is indeed just my bulb that has burnt out in my headlight... if it is... china bulbs off ebay, $10... phillips like $67+ ... DECISIONS... Not sure if trust quality (+ shipping time probably like 2 weeks+) ... but then dat money =[

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
