Mounted internal wastegate on frame

Cheap *** HMT Setup!!


Seems to pull preatty good for what it consists of. Total cost for kit was about $700.
Got it dynoed this weekend at a local car show. Wheel horsepower was 136. Probobaly a poor number but it's fun to drive none the less.

Wastegate is supposed to open up at 5.5 PSI but for some reason is opening at 4psi. Checked charge pipes and iat sensor by throttle body. Anyone know what may be causing this loss? Want to turn up the boost when i get better management

This site has been a huge help in getting this done thanks to everyone.

 

Nice work on a tight budget!! Get a boost controller!

 

136whp on 4psi w/fmu is not bad. clean hmt setup! good job.
do you have a close pic of the tb map sensor location.
i see it hanging w/ some check valves going to the tb.

 

did you lengthen the wastgate arm to mount it the way you did? If so, thats why you are only getting 4psi. Make/buy a boost controller and a bit more boost.

 

The arm is longer than it would have been stock but still opens up the flapper the same way. Would the arm being longer make a difference?

 

 

um in that pic right there it doesn't look like that hose is actually going into the tb
