For reference, here is a picture of a Tial wastegate.

yeah top port not bottom.

Thats embarrassing that the company tuning didn't see that.
|
sooooooo.... you dont have a line going to the top port for your ebc... it was surging with PW because you had the EBC on the lower port?

No, this is even more dumb than that guys.
Look: Attachment 241511 This is major derp. OK see the big purple mushroom? That has the spring and the diapragm inside. That pipe connected to it goes to my wastegate. That unconnected flange is supposed to be bolted up to my manifold- that orifice has the wastegate valve. The top port is supposed to VTA unless you are using a boost controller. So the lines were hooked up properly, but the fucking thing was upside down. |

HOLY RETARDED SHOP!!!!! Hopefully nothing got messed up with the wastegate... how many cars did you say they have put together? For future reference, heres the tial diagram hehe.

hahahaha

7 hours of my labor later the fucking shit is all back in place facing the correct direction. I would really like a full v-band setup.
I looked at the diaphragm and it was aok. The valve shaft was kind of sooted up but I lubed it up and it is fine. |
Oh I forgot to mention that when I took the gate apart to check it out, vengefully, I put 20psi worth of spring in there before reassembling.
|
Rofl, where is buffons fail award
|
This is great!
|
haha amazing.
i couldnt tell from the pics which side was feeding... i thought you had a 90 on the mani. but now you should get some legit boosts and make mo powa |
Not sure why you'd want a 20 psi spring. You'll never run lower than that? A 15 psi spring should be good to whatever boost you'll run.
So did the shop install the gate that way, or did you? |

So did the shop install the gate that way, or did you? And 20 psi for no other reason than the one that made you choose to put a 400hp motor in your car :) The shop installed my gate. |

Well, the more spring pressure in the gate, the quicker the turbo will build boost, even with a boost controller. With a wussy spring it will start to crack open much earlier. When I had my 9psi spring I built boost much more slowly than on the stiffer spring.
And 20 psi for no other reason than the one that made you choose to put a 400hp motor in your car :) The shop installed my gate. Most factory turbo cars come with low pressure wga's. Evo's/STi's/WRX's all come with 7 or 10psi spring stock. Yet those cars boost well over 20psi on the stock wga and hit boost exactly the same as with stronger springs. AS LONG AS there's a boost controller connected. |
Congratulations!

I would run away from that shop. After they pay me back for the dyno time. But good luck with that.

My reason for that was exactly what you are facing now. 30 different failsafes and plumbing nightmares to reach a simple goal. And then taking half of it out to pass emissions. Can't beat a factory PCM and simple normally aspirated power. Now if only I could finish the fucker.
