Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Noticed this on the weekend on my TD04The nipple where the vacuum feed attaches to the compressor housing is completely fucked, what can I do??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just get the vacuum from off the intercooler pipe that come straight off the turbo mate.Thats how mine is and its fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Mines actually in the silicone hose that joins turbo to intercooler pipe, got a kit from a local company.Can get you one dude if you cant sort it.This is what i got, works really wellhttp://www.revotec.com/catalogue_SelfSeal.asp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ahhhh so your saying get an intercooler pipe with the vacuum attachment? I like your style didnt think about that lolI am looking for a hot pipe mate so that would be awsome if you could!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Actually how do those things in the link work?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 you punch a small hole in the silicone mate, fit the nipple through, and use the washer and nut to tighten it up, so simple and works so well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ahhh i see yes I was thinking about the stainless elbow but yea sounds simple, fucking expensive though! Might see if theres anything similar in my local motor factors Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maz90 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just run your vacuum off your inlet mani.Thats how mines is and its fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 So the vacuum from the AVCR to the inlet mani? I thought the shorter the route the better spool though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
string Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 on my td04 the nipple take off is threaded. like on the blitz dd dumpers. dunno if its same but presume you could unscrew one and pop another in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Ahh I'll have to take a closer look at it when I get home, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mini valver Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 dont take it from the inlet that is a negative preasure zone and you dont get vaccume at that nipple on the turbo it is always possitive. they do just unsrew mate. good look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Cheers mate I'll get the mole grips on it, where can I get a new one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Leave it as it is pal, dab of weld on it. just tap a hole in the intercooler end tank and thread a fitting in, cost you less then £1 providing you allready have access to drill and thread taps !something like this ?

Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 What advatage does having it on the end of the intercooler tank give? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 What advatage does having it on the end of the intercooler tank give?Acurate reading of the cooled air, on the turbo there is fine obviously otherwise subaru wouldnt put it there.Just looks better and if you put it on the outer edge of the cooler (on the side so to speak) gives a mroe acurate reading (from what ive heard/read) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'll probably just tap it into the silicone joiner, easier thanks for the advice anyway bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'll probably just tap it into the silicone joiner, easier thanks for the advice anyway budProbs easiest way and will get adequite reading anyway ! I just like to do things differantly haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I know that I also need a stainless elbow to join the compressor housing to my intercooler, struggling to find one long enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mini valver Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 agree with driver. you could get another nipple from a scrappy mate any turbo will have one derv or petrol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
