wastegate
 

hey guys did some searching and came up with nothing. I have a wastegate with 3 nipples. 2 on the top 1 in the middle. I tried putting pressure to these. when I put pressure to the one on the top and the one in the middle the arm moved. but when I try to put pressure to both top ones and not the bottom the arm didn't move..Just wondering why there is 3. any help please. tks

Re: wastegate
 

would two of them be for coolant or oil, then the one woul dbe for vaccum

Re: wastegate
 

no

I would assume they are all vaccum hookups. Perhaps it uses a vaccum signal to keep the flapper closed tightly? like the TypeS?

I can't explain why it would have 2 vac hookups at the top though. thats a mystery. if you blow in 1 of the top nipples, does air come out the other top nipple.

if you can find some vacuum diagrams for the starion, that would help.
you probably have to hook up the lines the way you did to get the arm to extend.

Re: wastegate
 

hmmm .. yeh thats quite a unique setup.
i'd think that they would be a vacuum source of some kind , but having 3 nipples does put doubt to mind. :-\

Just run your setup as usual , maybe one is some sort of bleeder valve.
Block it off or sumthing c wat happens
