HedgehogSandwich adi Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Am i right in thinking if i get an AVC-R i also need three gauges to set it up? One for the first turbo, one for the second and another for the final boost? Or does the AVC have gauges built in? adi 2.5tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 The AVCR has a boost display on it (digits) and will measure a MAP (manifold absolute pressure) sensor attached to the INLET Manifold. (Actually in the throttle body.) You do not control the turbo boost pressure by sensing the individual turbo boost pressure, you contol the pressure actually entering the engine through the inlet manifold. you don't need anything else really. If you do then one single gauge is all you need and only then if you want to look at a nice needle dial and not a digital version. If you're keen and want to know what happening to both turbos and how much boost you drop say across the intercooler then yep fit a gauge to each turbo. But this is well O.T.T.

Ian C Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 Do you mean gauges or sensors? -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Not sure which part of the post you are referring to but... >If you're keen and want to know what happening to both turbos and >how much boost you drop say across the intercooler then yep fit a >gauge to each turbo.

I think that was clear but I mean the AVCR has a digital boost gauge and must be fed from a sensor. The sensor normally comes with the AVCR as a package.

Ian C Posted February 12, 2002 Share Posted February 12, 2002 Sorry, Pete, that was aimed at the first post - I didn't know if he meant he would need sensors in those areas connected to the AVCr or if he needs gauges to read off the values and thereby calibrate the AVCr. But anyway, the AVCr comes with all the sensors it needs and displays the values, so it can be set up from there without additional gauges. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
