Re: dunno what to do about the wastegate :(

is your old and new turbo internal or externaly gated?

i usually dont agree with spenser, because he is canadian, but the intake vacuum is better then the compressor housing vacuum.

Re: dunno what to do about the wastegate :(

do you all use the motor vacuum instead of the compressorhouse vacuum?
why?
whats the advantage of the motor vacuum?

(you mean the hose connected to the wastegate? that is activating the gate?)

thanx..
