Can i check turbo pressure and torque?

Post by Wod »

Hello there, is there an option to calculate torque output in NM?

If i want to check my boost do i use the inlet pressure and subtract 1 bar?
My car does not have VNT however i can see vnt %, is this just the percentage of the boost control solenoid? Does 100% =full boost or should 0%=full boost?
Thanks guys,
Great programme!
I have found clutch switch fault which i was unaware of and successfully reset egr parameters after fitting egr blank. The turbo was also replaced in the past, should i reset turbo actuator values?

If there is no PID that shows it, then no. Different models support different PIDs, some have torque one, and some are not....

Yes, if there is no special PID available that shows the boost pressure (this PID is missing on many vehicles).

If a PID is displayed, it means it is returned by ECU. Some PIDs may not be connected to real actuators (in case of same ECU is installed on different engine modifications).

What is model year of your Fiesta (Mk6, Mk7)?

Thank you for the help, both cars have the same ecu and vacuum control. It's just my engine does not have the vnt turbo. So is this affectively telling me the percentage of the actuator?

My model is mk6.5 tdci 1600 2007

Hm, we don't see VNT PID for this model in our database. Can you please provide exact PID name (as it displayed in FORScan)?

VGTDC Variable Geometry Turbo
Sits at 50%
So is this simply showing me the position of the boost control solenoid?
