Tubby Tubes? Few Wrong I Believe

August 26, 2004

ok, first grainger valve, turbo -> actuator, cut install G-valve? this is correct i believe.

actuator vsv, as below the pipe going to the right from the actuator isn't cut and blocked at each end, it goes straight to a metal pipe 6 cm away. Should i cut this and block both ends.

from the stock recirc dump valve, this hose is blocked :-

should it go to here where the pipe is capped?

many thanks in advance 'cause i'm sure you longer term tubby owners will help swiftly.

basically installing a boost gauge made me realise things were not right, i was getting 15psi in first and second, then in third it peaked at 13psi then dropped to 9psi, fourth only got to 9psi. Had a root around and the above possible 'errors' were detected. :)

This pipe should go to the charcoal canister, running next to the other one - it shouldn't be bunged! If the canister doesn't have the provision for two lines the incorrect one has been installed.

The pipe from the recirc valve nromally has an in line filter that then feeds back in to the other line, shouldn't worry about it.

Hope ths helps bud,

Matt.

Matt at present the charcoal canister tube runs to the pipe next to the small metal capped tube near the throttle body (thin blue tube). This makes sense to me as the fuel vapour is pu back into the inlet tract, why would the BOV want to go to the charcoal cannister??
