Hi People.
My question is, does the diameter or width of the hose which goes from the boost controller (manual) to turbo make a difference?
I have been changing some factory hoses with silicon hoses, and for this particular hose... when i took it out and looked at the inner size of the hose (the hole) it didn't exactly match up with the sizes of the silicon hoses I had.
I tried putting a smaller size (this was very tight, and I took it off just incase it would split at where I had managed to connect it) and I tried a size that was slightly larger.
When i pressed the accelerator, the boost guage seemed to react the same for the thinner or wider hose.From this I assumed it didn't really matter.
When I started the engine though...it sounded a bit different. It didn't seem to be as loud. When I took it for a drive....(well it's kinda hard to describe) but the boost guage was behaving the same (if not going up higher) but the car seemed to lag slightly?
SO BASICALLY, Does the inner diammeter/width of the hoses going in or out of the boost controller make a difference? I assume it would, as it's controlling the air pressure right? So a wider hose would have the same amount of air at less pressure?
Bare in mind I have next to zero knowledge about turbos. Thanks in advance for any help.
