Ello again,

Been cleaning my T3 turbo up and what not, as I have got an urge on my ZT project again.. going to get a new actuator as I dont trust the look of the one I have lol

Have also realised that this T3 is a water cooled one also, so will have to block that off as I wont be using the water cooling on it

So after reading up on stuff I have pinpointed the usual things, oil in, oil return, water in/out

But I dont understand how to set up the boost stuff...

Do I just plump a pipe from the actuator straight to the compressor housing as I show in this picture? Then I control the boost via the actuator rod (this is not mine btw)


also, how do I plumb in a boost gauge on a zt?
while I'm at it, how do I plumb in a gauge for the air temp?


Cheers

i think for the boost control paul as you so i think it can go straight to the actuator then use the rod to control the boost or plump the pipe from the compressor housing to a bleed valve then to the actuator , i think thats how they work


as for the boost gauge i'm not entirely sure on that

edit:- from doing some reading i think you put a T piece in the hose that run's the the MAP sensor then run a hose into the car and connect it up the the gauge

pm boost mad, he might be able to

here's something fast ford did that might help you on the act gauge

i cant remember what the turns are on the rod now, but dont go too mad and do lots of turns

i have a bleed valve (not everyones favourites) stuck in the middle of the pipe from actuator>housing and im on 10psi. i dont touch this though

my boost guage is plumbed in at the inlet side of things. dont know if there are other ways that work too

see pic below (if you can make it out)
blue pipe from efi inlet goes to t piece



dunno if this helps
