Vacuum is controlled by the ecu, you can use a boost accurator instead of the original vacuum acurator
RE: om606 turbo converting - Druk - 06-20-2013
What he said ^. Throw the vacuum actuator away and make a bracket to mount a pressure actuator. Take a tapping from the turbo outlet casting or weld a boss into the pipe. I got all my silicone rubber, intercooler and alloy pipes here... http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Auto-Performance-Silicone-Hoses/ASH-Silicone-Hoses-Tubes-/_i.html?_fsub=450466019
Try Dieselmeken (username) on here for an actuator.

thanks for help. new actuator is on it's way.
do you know how to adjust the diesel pump?
RE: om606 turbo converting - Druk - 06-20-2013
Speak to Dieselmeken. You also need an ALDA on the IP to increase fuelling proportional to boost and 6mm elements to match the fuel needs of a 962.

Wow, that's fantastic. Any issues with the RHD steering/turbo?

I routed the pipe (60mm dia) down in front of the steering box. The hydraulic steering pipe in the pic had to be sheathed in a silicone cover however the 107 lends itself well to this route because of the curved Pitman arm.
