Damn integrated wastegates
How in the hell do i find out how many pounds my WG is? I have a 16g if that helps. I figured shooting compressed air somewhere would do the trick but can't figure it out :dunno:
|
bicycle pump i used just to make sure it was working. some have built in gauge or you can get creative and plumb your boost gauge in line with it
|
you just pumped it into the little hollow arm doomathingy?
i tried that with my air compressor and the air blew out where the rod comes out of the large housing |
huh? i connected a rubber hose to the actuator where the boost line would typically go. then pumped
|
air compressor is way too much pressure. you might have blown the diaphragm now.

that arnt good
|
Then you blew it.
|
well let me go double check, i'll be back
|
ok yeah the air is deff. coming out of that spot
|
lol, youre an airhead.
Get a new actuator. By default they are usually 6 - 8 psi. Edit: quick google search proves 8 psi. |
well i gots some lead toys and ait paint chips as a kid
|
well i was really hoping something else on this turbo wasn't broken, last time a buy a turbo from a certain member on this board, first the rebuild and now this :robert:
|
testing the wastegate actuator with high pressure isn't a good idea. you can ruin a perfectly good one like that
|
You could have blown out the actuator yourself using too much air pressure. Might have been good in the first place. You're only supposed to test them that way if you can regulate the pressure at the nozzle so yo can adjust it between 3- 10 psi or whatever you like to know exactly what pressure will open it all the way.
|
well i had it set at 3 psi, but i wouldn't put it past me to screw it up either:bigtu:
|
that test doesn't work anyways.
|
What test works then homes?
