ok so I installed a fp 25# wg and now no boost? afr is 14.7 and at idle -16 to -18 vac. Boost comes in when I'm in 3rd gear, maybe around 3 to 4 # of boost.
Did I install the wastegate in correctly?
please advise.....thanks
car runs normal in all other respects, just no turbo.....prior to the wg install everything was fine.

 

ttt help

 

Chill....You don't need to bump your thread after seven minutes.

 

Did you?

it also sounds like you might have some IC piping that is coming appart. Go double check all the IC piping on the car while you check the WGA.

 

im gonna say its not adjusted tight

 

if your going to respond most members are either helpful or butt heads! Now you get to choose which one you'll be

 

thanks you this did work.

 

1/8 of an inch tighter from how it comes. it will be a stretch to get on ull have to pull on the flapper a little to get it to slide on. Then Test it. Push air through it till it opens and see if the psi causing it to open it is 25psi or less or more and adjust till 25psi opens the wastegate. HTH!

 

What is your target boost level?It is weird that it is only reaching 3-4 PSI. If properly installed there is no way it should only get to 4 PSI, as long as the actuator is in perfect working order. Something is wrong.

 

Apparently they also respond to things that do not at all require a response.

 

that's very witty how long did you sit at the computer to think that up, your so cleaver, I just kenw you'd go the butt head route.....try just helping, I see your new as well if you don't know the answer it's ok. You can still stick around and make useless comments to make yourself feel smarter....I guess?
Me I'll ask all the stupid question I want and need to to make sure I get my car running properly.

 

thanks this was very helpful! and it did work.

 

I sat here for hours upon hours, actually. I apprecite you making this thread, as it has provided an opportunity for me to place useless comments like this, which is indeed conducive to my self-esteem. Useless comments wouldn't be so fun without your responses, so keep them coming!

 

Anytime! Im glad i could help out. I bet 25psi feels a lot better than 4. lol.
