Right then lads and ladies...
As some of you know I've been under going quite a lot of work to my dear old Peugeot 306, (click my sig and it should link you to my project thread)
So I'm not making the boost pressure that I want...
I've changed all the hose joints for some proper silicon ones and changed the rubbish cheapo knock off jubliee clips with some Mikalor clamps, and I've been around and check the joints properly with the help of my air compressor...
So I can say for 100% that there is no leaks (now at least...) in the inlet pipework I wound the regualtor up to 35 psi and still no hissing noises... all I could hear was the air escaping out of an exhaust valve (should mention to those that don't know this is a diesel so no throttle on the inlet manifold)
I'm currently making 12 psi at 4k~ rpms when I'm looking for more like 20-25psi at about 2.5-3k rpms (it is possible on this engine before anyone asks) and there is definately enough exhaust gases to drive the turbine, you can tell by the big black clouds of smoke making there way out of the exhaust because it is overfuelling (due to the lack of air)
One thing I've noticed also is that there seems to be quite a bit of oil coming out of the outlet of the turbo (compressor side) is this a contributing factor? Is the turbo buggered?
Any help of suggestions would be much appreciated on this because I'm at a loss now and can't think what else it could be.... I've tried to be specific but if you want me to check something else or if you want to ask me about something then feel free to... I'm all ears and I'll do the best that I can...
Cheers
Brett
