Do Me A Favoure, Help With Turbo

[surf-wejd]

Hi there.
Just wondering if anybody knows what happens if the censor that attaches to the side of the air filter if it is not attached (on a manual, not automatic) as mine has been ripped off but iv'e got it still.
Also if nobody knows, do me a favour and unattach it and see if the turbo still works.
Stupid question i know but it might save be pricey garage time for the sake of just a censor.
Thanks all
Will

You get no turbo light, and bugger all power.

[surf-wejd]

thanks for that. do you have any sigh of turbo power at all, my turbo light does not work and you cant feel the turbo at all, do you think that the missing censer is why and if i replaced it the turbo should work?
thanks will

Normally, if the Turbo isn't making clanging noises its hard for it to not physically work and make pressure, but without the turbo pressure sensor to tell the ECU for deliver matching amounts of fuel, you won't get any extra oomph.

You don't say if you have a EFI motor or not, not sure how much it would effect a non-EFI motor with a mechanical fuel pump, but the EFI motors rely on the ECU to govern fuel delivery.

tony would a non efi motor not have a boost pipe going into the pump body like a vac advance on a distributor.???

does it have efi written in big red letters across the turbo to inlet manifold pipe.????

[surf-wejd]

no all it says is turbo-d 2LT

[surfenstein]

no all it says is turbo-d 2LT

right so its non efi and wont have a sensor.

[surf-wejd]

ok so its not a EFI, but i have the censor its just ripped off from the wires.

Are you insulting my ethnic background?
