Morning all...
Got my water/air intercooler fitted up yesterday (pics to follow) but there's a couple of issues I need guidance on...
1. Boost compensation: There's nowhere on the intercooler to connect the small air hose that runs to the boost sensors and fuel pump. I'm thinking of drilling, tapping and using the hose connection from the old turbo's wastegate actuator, but that's a bigger aperture than the 'pinhole' sized one on the original connection. My physics is rubbish - but am I right in thinking that won't affect the amount of pressure on the diaphragm in the pump? In which case the pinhole nozzle is just to prevent all the boost from escaping in the event of the hose being disconnected?
2. Being a water to air unit, it needs a pump, which needs a power source. Can anyone suggest suitable power supply? I assume there's something that's only on when the engine is running...
