Boost leak vs Faulty WG
To start off I have an SS AUTOCRAP 35mm (I think) wastegate
Its been doing great right on the 10 psi mark as the spring is 10 psi today something weird starts happenin Im gettin EXACTLY 3 PSI everytime I pulled over and checked for loose charge pipes or loose connectors everything is looking good and tight I know SSAC is crap has anyone had any problems with this WG doing funky stuff like this? How could the spring have gotten damaged ro something? Im clueless Guess I'll buy a TIAL I need a 35 MM right or will the 38MM bolt right on My current setup http://img432.imageshack.us/img432/79/mvc335s1qm.jpg |
Re: Boost leak vs Faulty WG
u have a vacuum source hooked up to the wg right? its not in the pic. i'd open it up and look at the diaphram, make sure everythings workin. also, could your bov be leaking?

Re: Boost leak vs Faulty WG
yea its hooked up
and no the bov isnt leaking |
Re: Boost leak vs Faulty WG
pull the vac source off the WG and see if it'll go past 3 psi, keep your eye on the boost gauge since you don't want to over do it ;)

Re: Boost leak vs Faulty WG
did that this morning only 3psi again
so I pulled the vac off the BOV and 3psi is all and it still blows off?????? I noticed that when I plug and unplug the vac line that the bov would pop in and out its an OBX wonder if its fucked im getting exactly 3psi no matter what |

Re: Boost leak vs Faulty WG
can you hear the turbo? does it sound like its working a lot harder than it used to? if so you have a boost leak.. if its not trying as hard and spools slow and much later than its an exhaust problem.
EASIEST way to test for aboost leaks is to take the filter off the turbo put your hand over it with the engine running and see if it pulls a hard vaccum. My BOV was leaking so bad that i could do that and there was no change in the motor. fixed all that up and now you can put your hand over it and it pulls a hard vaccum pretty quick. |
Re: Boost leak vs Faulty WG
u might have to fuk w/ the spring inside the wastegate, pull it out so its longer or something and has more tension, i'm thinkin after 3 psi it starts to give way. if not that then you have a leak somewhere.
