WTF

is there a way to test factory external factory wastegates? my dad kicked the ---- out of mine and now im not sure if its ok, the actuator arm thing got bent a little

Hope you meant internal wastegate, anyways you can use a bicycle pump connected to the vac port of the wastegate, as soon as you apply enough pressure the actuator arm should move or pull out(if it's still good).

If you have a gas cyl(non flammible), you can set the regulator and see when it is opening too. I just took the CO2 off my HMT keggerator.

I used a hand pump & my fuel pressure regulator gauge. Hooked it all up to the actuator head and slowly pumped.

the vacum line on the bottom of the external wastegate goes to the carge pipes, but where does the vac line from the top of the wastegate go?

djfob

the bottom is usually left open unless running an EBC and the top runs to a vac source

ifly87

ooh ic, where is the best place to get the vac source for the wastegate?

WTF

aright thanks guys. how you rig a bike pump to the vac fitting anyways?
