    Manual pressure regulator ?

    I have a couple stupid questions if you don't mind.

    I bought one of these cheapo ebay T valves.

    What it the function of it on a stock engine ? It cannot certainly increase turbo pressure ?!?

    Where the venting pipe is supposed to go ?

    Where do I attach the sender for the gauge ?

    My 2cents ... dont use it.

    these are called bleed valves. You need to cut the pipe that goes to the actuator and place the valve between. When you open the valve, it creates a bleed, so the actuator opens later.

    The problem with these is that pressure increases when it gets cold. It means if you set it so you have 1 bar when there is hot weather, you will easily have 1.2 or more when weather is cold. Thus easily blowing the engine.
