How can i find out if my turbo is working properly.

Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

How can i find out if my turbo is working properly.

Post by pr222 »

i have a 92 L300 exceed Turbo diesel 5 spd.

My turbo maxes out at 10 psi. It Idles at 0, there is no vac pressure.
How much vac pressure should there when idling?
How much boost should i get from the turbo?

as far as i know the manifold will produce no vacuum pressure, thats why the back of the alternator has a vac pump built into it to run your brakes etc. there wont be any boost at idle because the turbo wont spool until higher rpm. not too sure on the boost psi though. anyone else have the numbers?

hope this helps

10-11 is very standard, some people set hem higher Max is 15 but done at your own risk.

Sounds like yours is working great
