Can someone help me with my wastegate?
It said it had a 15psi spring in it. I also got another spring that says add this spring with the 15psi spring for 30psi.
I'm only boosting 12psi. I have a manual boost controller. If I put boost to the side port on the wastegate I loose 3-4psi. If I put boost to the top nipple on the wastegate I nothing...12psi.
How do I jack up the boost with the manual controller? Do I need to just go purchase a 25psi spring? That's what I'm going to run daily...
Ho yea this fcuker is real fast. My wife took me for a ride a 12psi and damn it nice. I asked the wife what she thought and she said "this car is nuts to drive anymore, it's too dangerous for me....I bet she is all over it in a week or two

Air pressure allowed to enter this second port aids the spring to push harder in the direction of closing the wastegate. This is exactly the opposite of the first port. The ability to help the wastegate remain closed as boost pressure builds can be increased. This also adds further complexity to boost control, requiring more control ports on the solenoid or possibly a complete second boost control system with its own separate solenoid. Use of the second port is not necessary. Secondary ports, unlike primary ports, cannot be simply attached to a boost control line and require electronic control to be useful. | As for the MBC: it's likely a ball & spring setup with a knob to adjust the spring preload to set the boost level at which signal is sent to the wastegate. Quote: | It is installed with one vacuum line coming from the intake somewhere after the turbocharger, and one vacuum line going to the wastegate. A knob changes the force on the spring which in turn dictates how much pressure is on the ball. The tighter the spring, the more boost that is needed to unseat the ball, and allow the boost pressure to reach the wastegate actuator. There is a bleed hole on the boost controller after the ball, to allow the pressurized air that would be trapped between the wastegate actuator and the ball after it is seated again. | __________________

Then I'm free. There is a board member that is about 1.5 hours north of me that might come down this weekend to see this in person. If he does I will let him drive me over there to meet you... | | | | | 07-24-2009, 02:49 PM | #217 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |

Here is a buch of pictures For a full weekend of work and working through the worst hang over I've every seen. I personally watched him puke 13 times Saturday in the lawn, it was 97 degrees but he kept at it. We call him Uncle Savage but he is really Uncle Joby    | | | | | 07-24-2009, 03:09 PM | #219 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Gulfport, Florida Posts: 3,208 |

Wow - that turbo is really hidden under there. __________________ ...
