Decided to fit a boost guage with a recall feature. Will give it a good spank on the dual carriageway and see what it's making. If it's close to 10psi I think that's about right. Not a race bike, just something I've always wanted to build. Gotta build my kid brother one now coz its more powerful than his H2.

Aha. Now I get it. Doh! Thanks for clearing that up @Duckndive Enjoy the wake.

Can't understand why I don't have a boost reference. I assumed the spring controlled the boost as you can get different rated springs.

I don't have any boost reference pipes connected. I did have with old internal gate flap set up. I need to look into this further. It definitely lifts off at max boost. Thanks chaps.

See reply to @Duckndiveabove.

So boost doesn't lift the diaphragm against the spring in the waste gate?

I've got 2 nipples and 2 plugs in the box.

No bud. As it came fitted. Just wanted to be sure it was right.

No problems, up to now at least. I'm sure it'll rear it's ugly head.

I have a Turbosmart wastegate on the Blandit. It came with some plugs in a bag but no instructions. Can anyone confirm which are the water cooling ports I can blank off? Also should I run a vent pipe from it or leave as it is?

Dialled in and ready to rock.

Went for an upgrade. Looks like a proper turbo now.

I can bring the Blandit turdo or the CB1157 or both.

That was a quick run up for my benefit. I'll get a better idea when I collect it. Turns out it was "mega rich".

@clivegtoNot too shoddy.

Also finding room for an unrestrictive fuel filter is a challenge.

I've made an adapter with a 10mm push on fitting. The only inline ball valve taps I can find only have a 6mm bore. They're also quite a big lump to find space for.

@Gixer1460Any particular Pingel you recommend? Decided to bite the bullet and spend the money.

Surely the weight of fuel would over come the floats? Trying to eliminate a fuel starvation issue. Vacuum tap would be great if it flowed enough.

As @Gixer1460said above. I have dramatically increased the flow which might be overwhelming the needles. They didn't flood with an 8mm fitting.

That all makes perfect sense @Gixer1460 I'm gonna try the 8mm fitting I had fitted before. Might even experiment with flow rates. See what difference is.

They havn't leaked once since I started putting the bike together Months ago. I've done several carb rebuilds now. Seems strange they suddenly leak after getting stronger fuel supply. I will strip them again. Might have got a bit of swarf through when I fitted the bigger outlet.

Ah. I'll test it with a full tank when I've fitted a tap.
