last vaccum question i think.. does the wastegate actuator vaccum come from the cold air intake side, or the compressed side?

 

the black pipe the bolted to the outlet of the turbo has a little nipple on. just connect that to the Wastegate hose.

here you can see the black pipe

 

ok, so i started her up, and she purred like a kitten, but my wastegate actuator, and stock evo 8 BOV didnt seem to be working (my fmu is off the same line, but my air/fuel gauge says the fmu is working)? Anyone have any things that i should check (i know its vaccum related)? The wastegate actuator, is that suppose to be installed with the wastegate all the way down?

 

ok, so I think I may have f-ed something up.. I am thinking it may be valves, but i have no idea. It makes a sort of rattling sound at high RPM's, but its only when letting off the throttle....oh and this is without the turbo on and back to stock..Any ideas?

Edit: I may have just thought of something, i am running mobil 1 10w30 fully synthetic, and when pulling the stick it just seems way to thin (oil weight). I am going to go buy some good old valvoline and give that a shot.

 

its definitely the oil our cars love OIL

 

I'll give it a shot thanks omarboy.

 

so have you figured out what happened?
And im just starting to build this, so im interesting i knowing all the diferent plumbing pieces that you ended up needing.
Thanks

 

Rattle when you let off on the gas can also be as simple as your exhaust being too close to something. Have a look at that as well.

 

Any updates? I am planning on going the 16g route as well.

 

did you have to trim your front crash bar to fit the evo ic???? i have an evo IC... and when i did the install the damm crash bar only allowed 2" of clearance space from the ground.... VERY scary!! i took off my kit cuz i moved from jersey to miami..... so im planning my 2nd attemp Very soon...

 

gotta remove teh crash bar^

 

how much hp can the 16g turbo get our cars right away? like i get it all together iwht the parts and what will i get ? im not asking exsact but a roundish number because im really thinking of going the 16g route for my OZ anda when you put up all the parts needed i will definatly follow that. someone should jsut put a main thread on how to build a 16g turbo!!!

 

? That question doesn't make any sense. What PSI are you running? Intercooled or non-intercooled? What supporting mods? What kind of tuning? It's not like you just bolt on a turbo and magically gain 50 hp, there's a lot of other things to consider.

 

im not a retard but i guess i did leave that blank but lets just say 7 psi, intercooled, i did say just the basics just to get it running. im not wanting to know 5psi intercooled = this or 7 psi= that. just want to know basic stuff. if i get what i need how much will i gain?

 

You are asking "If I run this what will gain", which again isn't an easy question to answer. You could be at anything from 170 hp to 250 hp depending on other variables.
