What is the best place to take the boost reference from?
The throttle body vacum ports, or the plenum/ boost tube?
I am installing a boost/vacuum guage as well as 1:1 regulator.
The bike also has a 50mm blow off.
I was thinking the regulator should see the refernce from downstream the throttle plates, so the fueling is more accurate, in case the blow off doesn't react fast enough to blow off the plenum and turbo outlet pressure.
Am I thinking right?
The wastgate should operate off the plenum/ up pipe boost tube, this way it would be spooling more , and less finicky to throttle position?
I mean, the throttle determines what goes in more than anything right? I would think i would want a steady wastgate, and stable plenum pressure, wheras the wastegate reference from the throttle vacuum ports might make it errratic?
Thanks guys!
Your help is much appreciated.
