    Garrett Turbocharger Speed Sensor:

    Thanks a lot McRat. It gives a pulse of 5V for each blade? After that it is easy to measure the pulses in the time and find the speed. However, in the case of transient operation how can you find the rpm from the pulses? Any photo of yours? Thanks!

    Hi guys, I am new to the forum. So has anyone already installed the Garrett turbo speed sensor kit to his engine? Was it an easy work? Any photos of the drilling process? Where is the best place on the compressor cover to place it? Anyone used the pro-kit? How did he read the output signal? Does...
