What is the purpose of the long nipple on the TN intake hose? I think the Garrett ones also have this.

Stick the little plastic green line from the OEM boost control solenoid into that

So does the factory hose have that connection on it?

Tom

 

[boggerr]

Yes it does.

Yes, I believe the purpose of the green line is to relieve any pressure in the red signal line to the actuator when the boost signal is removed. It's the "dump" from the litte black valve with the electric plug on it and a number of red and green tubes coming off of it. It is going to the compressor inlet side of things, so it sees no pressure, and you wouldn't necessarily want a portion of your intake system open to the atomosphere unfiltered so they ran it back into the intake track pre-turbo.

FWIW, mine has been laying in the bottom of my valley plugged in for quite a few years now with a plug in the nipple on the intake tube.

It is OEM equipment. It's not anything new by TN or by Garrett. Just stick that little green plastic hardline in there a good ways and it should stay put just fine.

The OBS do not, because there is no wastegate... Mine has a bolt in it...

 

[Charles]

I'm always forgetting that Tom is OBS, lol.

I just noticed Greg has an OBS

All you do is plug it up, I had a bolt in mine.

 

[Tom S]

It has a bolt in it now! I was just wondering what it is for.

Well if TN would have ever got the OBS kit completed I would have posted over there. Since they did not I have to the conversion and ask you boys questions. Getting close now downpipe and final adjustment of the up pipes. Hopefully I have created enough clearance for everything. That is the one part I am concerned about.

So how do you like the TN BB turbo.

 

[Charles]

Damn, give the man a chance, he said he's tryin to get everything ironed out and installed, lol.

Or did you want to know what he thought about it cosmetically.....
