gt28rs actuator hose, connects where? and oil restrictor

[midge]

on the other turbos ive had it connects to the hosing, where do i connect this?

and is this oil restrictor fitted the right way? the other end is flat no domed

When my turbo conversion was first done the actuator hose ran to the vacuum outlet on the intake manifold (where the fuel pressure regulator vacuum hose is connected to)

The restrictor looks correct the dome part is designed to give a good seal when the braided hose union is fitted.

ideally you want the actuator feed from the boost pipe BEFORE the throttle. some people remove the compressor housing (to avoid swarf in the turbo) and add a vac fitting there.

I was lucky, the T3 housing on mine had a blanking grub screw fitted, which I removed and fitted a brass fitting in its place.

Justin on williamsclio has done this, this hose come straight off the turbo, i thought the vac feed had to on the turbo? is there a downside to moving it further up the pipe work?

Dan what do you mean by before throttle? take the vac feed from as close to the throttle body as possible?

 

[T.Trophy]

Danny means, anywhere before the throttle body but normally its, as previously mentioned, taken directly from the comp housing.

The above looks fine as long as it's well sealed and secure as you could risk blowing it out if you run high boost.

I was tld the closer to the turbo the better but use a good fitting like this http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=459034
Or it will leak and cause issues

TBH that does not look like a restrictor just a standard -4 or 03 male male fitting. A oil restrictor should have a hole in it the size of a pin hole.

Also here is where i would place a vac take off:

how can you tell thats not a restricker from looking at the outside of it?

luke you've linked me to this thread.. ?

Looking at the top of the fitting.
