does anybody in virginia beach have valve stays for an x or some that will work on an x i dropped one and cant find it. thanks

 

So has anyone ever had a wastegate get stuck open? I start up, sounds like a horrendous exhaust leak, and the dump is putting out a good steady flow of exhaust. This randomly happened 2 days after a track day.

 

External or internal?

check your carter pin if you are eternally dumping a stock location wastegate. the arm could of simply popped off the wastegate flapper.

Internal on a HTA green. Arm is still on, but i cant manually move it at all. never tried before, so dunno if its even possible

 

The last one I got was about white lightning...

I am off Friday... I will tune your car after you are done with work

 

It shouldn't move because it is under pressure. How much preload do you have on the wastegate? You may not have enough.

I practiced changing my tire today...successfully I might add. One question: does anyone use the wheel locky thing? I am so afraid of losing the key so my gpa suggested replacing with a regular bolt. Advice? Also i found out BJ's in Virginia Beach has an air pump that is quite handy and anyone can use it. You dial in your poundage, and it will stop there automatically. Fun!

 

I can give you 4 lug nuts if you want. I hate using locks because of an issue I once had where the key stripped...

 

That is so sweet of you, but I would insist on paying you the going rate for them. Also, is it reasonable to expect i can change my oil and fix that vacuum line being discussed in the general forums? Its an urgent message about possible leaks.

 

Don't worry about the lugs... the stock ones don't do me any good since I can't use them with my rims.

The vaccuum line (for the fuel pressure regulator) I think you are talking about can be fixed with a zip tie in about 5 seconds.

 

Again so sweet...ill hit u up about those then. Poor college student haha. Maybe i can bring some cookies or sumpin? Also, first dumb question about said zip tie: cant this be purchased at the autozone place up on laskin? Or can any trash can tie do? I feel like a tard....

 

If you mean trash can tie like a twisty one then no, its gotta be a zip tie that locks into place but pretty much any auto or hardware store sells them.

 

Invest in a bunch of zip ties they come in handy in a lot of cases. Evo is famous for vacuum leaks.
