I JUST INSTALLED A TURBO ON MY LS AND I USED A T3 TURBO THAT HAD AN INTERNAL WG AND REMOVED IT AND WENT WITH EXTERNAL,NOW WHEN I TURN MY CAR ON IT CONSTANTLY BLOWS AIR THROUGH THE DUMP TUBE,WHICH MEANS IT'S CONSTANTLY OPEN,ANY IDEAS OF WHY IT'S STAYING OPEN LIKE THAT,REMEMBER IT HAD AN INTERNAL ON IT AND IT WAS REMOVED.

 

what kind of wastegate is it?

 

SS AUTO

 

thats y its stuck.

 

LOL Y IS THAT

 

WHY ARE WE YELLING? holy ---- man caps lock doenst get your question answered any faster

 

TAKE IT OFF MAKE SURE ITS SEALING AROUND THE FIRE RING, YOU DID PUT THAT IN RIGHT? IF THATS NOT IT THEN PULL THE TOP OFF AND SEE WHY IT WONT LET THE THING SEAT.

 

---- is that y that little ring came with it huh where did that go on the dump tube side or the mani side.

 

duh

 

if you dont put that fire ring in correctly, your wastegate is useless. It fits into the bottom of the wastegate up against the valve, which is manifold side.

the only thing that sucks here is your answer. plenty of ss autochrome wastegates have been used without trouble, sure there have been failed units, but its dumb to just immediately assume thats the problem.
