Boost spike
 

So i hooked up my new 48/60 on my d16 and i had to kinda pound in the wastegate a little bit to get it to fit and also i had to shave the wastegate down. When i did this i cut a little part of the wastegate open. Then i welded it back shut and put jb weld over it. I dont think i let it dry long enough though so there could still be a hole. It was rated to 10lbs and now it will go up to 15 and higher but im not going anyfaster when it does this. Can you tune my car colin? :(

You do know JB weld melts at like 200* right? And your exhaust is 1000* ++

You dont need a tune, you need a clue lol

Tell that to my jb welded block. ;) And i never said it was on my exhaust. its far clear of that.

Anyone?

Re: Boost spike
 

do u have a vaccuum line running to it? do you have a boost controller?

Re: Boost spike
 

Yes there is a line from the wastegate to the cold side then t`s to the rest of the system. No boost controler though. I would think the more it boosts the faster it should be but when it gets higher then 10lbs it seems to slow down. Is my flapper all nigged up? Should i weld shut and just buy an external?

Re: Boost spike
 

wouldnt it be cheaper to buy a new internal? but also remember u will need a new manifold to put that external on.

Well it hits my block so i would have to do the same. So im thinking buying a log mani with an external.
